That wasn't an accident. Initially it was removed because the XTT code
was using a "private" Freetype2 API - but the side-effects were that
drastic that the FreeType2 library got an extra "public" API to get the
functionality back.

AFAIK not without causing trouble for CJKV users. Even Xfree86 has
updated it's FreeType2 copy in CVS to FreeType 2.1.8 to ensure the XTT
code works properly (using the new "public" API which was extra added
for that purpose) - and AFAIK that indicates the importance of the
issue...
