Hmm, we have been told that inkscape 0.44 and higher no longer use
FreeType internals.  Have you seen this page?

  http://freetype.freedesktop.org/freetype2/patches/rogue-patches.html

it provides a patch for 0.43.

The proper function to do that is FT_Get_X11_Font_Format.  It will have
proper documentation in the next release.
