Freetype enabled in configure.sh, yes still not used

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello,

Your attached png files are automatically filtered by the mailing list 
server so I can't see them. You will need to host them somewhere and 
link if we are to see them.

AFAIK, we can't build OpenJDK on Linux without freetype so the claim 
that freetype is not used seems weird. I know for sure that it's used at 
build time at least. For questions on how the graphics works, I think 
2d-dev is the correct mailing list. I think that's where you need to 
continue your investigation.
