The comment suggests that the include was added so that the prototype of
the gmalloc function be known by the C compiler when compiling this
module, and there is no gmalloc call in the writefont.c from
tetex-bin-2.0.2 (the version in unstable). If there is no such call in
your version, it is probably safe to remove the include line.

Most probably.
/tmp/tetex-bin-2.0.2 % grep "typedef.*boolean" **/*.h sid flo@florent
libs/type1/util.h:typedef int boolean;

That, I don't know...
