I am trying to upgrade my freetype version because I am facing issue while font render is going on. that is when the new data is going to bedisplayed old data is not refreshing. The old data is still appearing at the bottom edges of the new data.

Please help me in compiling the latest version of freetype and font refreshing issue.

We are using freetyp-2.3.5 ,cairo-1.8.10,pango-1.28.1,fontconfig-2.6.0 on MIPS Linux.


Thanks,
Anil
