Description
When installing gnome-print with:
sudo port install gnome-print
freetype is not listed in the dependencies of ANY ports on which gnome-print depends (all the way down to 'no dependencies'). freetype 2.1.9 just so happened to be installed, but would not allow gnome-print to compile. creating a new portfile for freetype version 2.1.5, forcing uninstall of freetype v2.1.9, and installation of v2.1.5 fixed the problem, allowing gnome-print to compile.
I currently have the Portfile for freetype 2.1.5 (which I made) if it is needed, but be advised that 2.1.5 really does need to be in the tree since 2.1.9 causes problems.

Just discovered that downgrading to freetype 2.1.5 breaks pango, causing all sorts of fun dependency problems. Something has got to be done about this freetype problem, whether it's a problem with freetype, or gnome-print.
