Hummm... you're correct that we would expect to see -DUSE_GD_TTF for
freetype 1.3, that's odd... I checked on one of our servers and I get
the same -DUSE_GD_FT as you with freetype1.3 and my truetype fonts work
well, so I would suggest that you continue with your build... it's
probably going to work.
