Hi, Allen,

Fine that it compiles also freetype 2.1.7, I had found a message that
the changes to the structure are in version > 2.1, so I tried 2.0.9.

I think it is ok, because if the configure script does not know this
option you will get an error message. You could have a look at
configure.

Fine!

I mean that this error message is normal. I have also configured
microwin
for bdf-Fonts and get two error messages. You could disable the usage
of
these font types in the config of microwindows.
I use a SD-Card for my complete application, libs and fonts. You must
have
the ttf fonts on your board or a extern medium so that your
application/
microwin can find them.
If you need a widget toolset you can try flnx-0.45 (FLTK for nano-x).
That
works fine. I have not found a newer version of flnx until yet and
with
nxlib and fltk 1.1.7 I have much trouble with unresolved symbols.

Tom
