I'm experiencing the same issue (no visible output when using FreeType 2).
My device is not in portrait mode and is able to display the built-in
fonts. Image BLTs also work OK. I guess I need to debug into
GdDrawAreaInternal to see what's going on. Here is some debugging output
to verify that FreeType is functioning correctly:
GdCreateFont: name=Vera, height=12
Checking for FreeType2 font
Initializing FreeType2 driver
Creating FreeType2 font: name=Vera, height=12, attr=0
Have FreeType2 cache
