Since X depends on the font server and the font server depends on
FreeType, and incompatibility could make the system unusable or (worse)
unstable.

Anyway, I did rebuild Red Hat's freetype-2.0.1-5.src.rpm (rawhide) with
FreeType 2.0.2 just to see if the problem was still there.  It didn't
trash my system :-), but the quality of rendered fonts was significantly
lower.  Any idea why an update from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 could cause this?
