Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:8 snorfalorpagus]:
 > I have tried compiling with both --with-freetype and --without-freetype,
 but can see no difference (in cairo or PNG).

 The cairo driver is unaffected by --with-freetype, as cairo provides its
 own font and text handling. If the cairo library was built with
 !FontConfig support, the cairo driver will use !FontConfig and cairo's
 support for it. The cairo driver itself doesn't use !FreeType.

 > In addition, I'm not convinced that ./configure is listening to the
 options I pass it (despite the summary it gives making sense). Even if I
 pass --without-tcltk I can still start the tcltk GUI. Same goes for the
 wxgui. Is this normal?

 Yes.

 The configure options only control which tests are performed, which in
 turn affects the setting of certain Makefile variables which are used in
 compilation. Code which doesn't require compilation isn't affected. E.g.
 using --without-tcltk will result in NVIZ not being compiled, but the
 !Tcl/Tk GUI will still be installed.
