I've got freetype working on OS X, but my method for doing it wasn't 
very elegant, and someone else can probably tell you a better way. I 
didn't make a separate library, I just added the necessary files 
directly to my project, using  Project Builder. The files I added 
are: ftbase.c, ftsystem.c, ftinit.c, ftglyph.c, ftextend.c, ftbbox.c, 
ftmm.c, psaux.c, psnames.c, sfnt.c, ftcache.c, cff.c, type1.c, 
raster.c, truetype.c, type1cid.c, and autohint.c. They're all in 
different folders, so it was necessary to add them one at a time.

I made changes to include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h, commenting out 
three lines for modules I didn't want:

// FT_USE_MODULE(pcf_driver_class)
// FT_USE_MODULE(ft_smooth_renderer_class)
// FT_USE_MODULE(winfnt_driver_class)

(Note: there's another file called ftmodule.h in the next folder up, 
include/freetype/ftmodule.h, that's completely different; I don't 
know why these two files have the same name, it's confusing.)

I haven't included the extension that would allow freetype to open 
Mac fonts that use the resource fork, but I'd like to; someone on 
this list mentioned recently that they were working on it.
