[ft] how to enable 'freetype module' for .otf handling? currently "discarding"

[darx]

on Opensuse 12.2, i've installed freetype2* & pango*

        rpm -qa | egrep -i "freetype|pango"
                freetype2-devel-2.4.11-72.1.x86_64
                libcogl-pango0-1.12.0-2.22.x86_64

                libpango-1_0-0-1.32.2-4.3.x86_64
                libpangomm-1_4-1-2.28.4-3.1.2.x86_64

                typelib-1_0-Pango-1_0-1.32.2-4.3.x86_64

i've configured font dirs,

        cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
                Section "Files"
                  FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType"
                  FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/MSVistaTrueType/"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/URW"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
                  FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/misc/sgi:unscaled"
                EndSection

for any given .otf font, just for example here, "RotisSemiSans",

        locate RotisSemiSans
                /usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans-Bold.otf
                /usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans-ExtraBold.otf
                /usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans-Italic.otf
                /usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans-Light.otf
                
/usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans-LightItalic.otf
                /usr/local/share/fonts/AdobeOpenType/RotisSemiSans.otf

a rebuild of fonts caches complains repeatedly ".otf won't work without
freetype module, discarding RotisSemiSans...",

How/where does one enable the 'freetype module' ?
