Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hi
I am wondering when FreeType may be updated to the latest version? The current MacPort installs 2.12.1 which is now over a year old. Scribus would benefit from using a more recent version aligned with the latest harfbuzz 8.2.1 as just released via MacPorts.
thanks
Craig (Scribus)

Yes, this update needs to be done. The reason for my delay in doing so is this statement in the release notes of 2.13.0:
Qt of course depends on FreeType, therefore in MacPorts we cannot have FreeType depending on Qt. I have not yet investigated what, if anything, is needed to tell FreeType not to attempt to build this new Qt-based demo program, even if Qt is installed.
Later on, if desired, we could offer that demo program in a subport which would depend on FreeType and Qt.
