There is no problem with C++ and Freetype (2.0.4 or various other
previous versions). I have compiled Freetype under Microsoft C++, 
Intel C++ and GNU C++ with no problems. C++'s more strict nature 
did reveal some small bugs in Freetype 2.X early on, but I have 
long since submitted them and they were fixed.

I find it interesting how some parts of Freetype try to emulate
C++'s inheritance mechanism. I must say that I am now quite a fan
of C++, especially since the major C++ vendors are now quite good 
about following the standard.
