Hi, Sascha,

I downloaded the source of 2.1.8 and found that the interface/implementation
of the cache subsystem has been drastically changed in comparison with 
2.1.4.

I think there're two possible solutions to it:
(1) Update -art (to be more specific, ftfont.m) according to the changes
  of 2.1.8.
(2) Use the previous stable freetype2, i.e., 2.1.4.

If you want to use -art right now, perhaps (2) is a better solution.
(But note that it might break other programs using freetype2.)

Otherwise, we definitely need the help of Alexander Malmberg for a
complete solution.

I'll look into this, but I'm not sure I can wrote a patch in hours.

Regards,
- Kazunobu Kuriyama

You can use 3,9 for Japanese people (Their pronunciation of 3,9 just 
sounds "thank you")
