Yes.  I tried to get a more recent version of FreeType, but the relevant SRPM 
I tried apparently uses a .spec format that only a newer version of rpm 
supported.  So, I tried building the new version of rpm suffered the same 
problem.

Presumably there's a path to boot-strap to the new RPMs, but I think I'd be 
better off trying to get the new machine working.

Well, that depends when FT_Load_Sfnt_Table support was added.  We can bracket 
it between v2.1.3 (which quis. has) and v2.1.9 (which Google says has the 
fn).

Cairo seems to have suffered the same problem:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4144

So, depending which versions of freetype2 different distros use, it might be 
worth testing for it.  See:
  http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=freetype2

There's a few other reports of similar problems on Mandrake 9.1, which 
apparently uses v2.1.5.  SuSE 9.x using v2.1.7 or v2.1.9, so might get away 
with it.  YMMV.

Cheers,

Paul.
