[OpenFontLibrary] Fwd: [ft-devel] ttfautohint 0.5 has been released

[Peter Baker]

Thanks to Dave, Vernon and Khaled for these replies. Khaled's solution
is the one that worked for me. I can't interpret the cryptic error
message ("0x06") that I got when I had two versions of Freetype
installed--perhaps ttfautohint was trying to use the wrong version.
But it's working now, and I look forward to playing around with it.
