I think there is a licencing issue with freetype - there is a compilation 
option which has had to be turned off due to patent issues with Apple (?).

You can always download the source and rebuild it yourself with this option 
turned on.  There is an article in the Register 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/27788.html about it.
