That's okay.

X-TT and FreeType have always been mutually exclusive.  They should
not be loaded simultaneously.

In 4.1, you could load them simultaneously, in which case the first
one loaded would be the one that manages TrueType fonts.  In 4.2, due
to an accidental name clash, the loader will not allow you to load
both.

In 4.3, if two modules register for the same type of fonts, a warning
will be printed to the log.

Hope this explains things,
