No.  This is quite a generic error and might have various reasons.  I
suggest that you manually edit the error messages to find out the
exact location of the problem, then poke around in the affected
structures.  In case you find something suspicious report it here.

It uses standard C types to make it work in standalone mode: the
ftgrays module can be compiled without the rest of the FreeType
library.

Care have been taken to make FreeTpye compile on 16bit hosts, so even
the smallest values for `int' (this is, a 16bit type) should be
sufficient for normal use.

Just curious: What data types are available for D?
