There is no difference in environment variables
between the shell in xterm and that in Terminal.app?

Well, I guess the problem may be on a different level. When I launch `ftmulti` from the XQuartz-provided terminal (xterm), then it launches correctly (with the GUI). But if I launch it from within the regular "text" Terminal or iTerm apps, then I get the error. Same with `ftview` etc.
cannot open X11 display
could not allocate display surface
error = 0x0002
(The error is sometimes 0x0000 and sometimes 0x0002).
But the weird thing is that this used to work, 100%, just a few weeks ago. I did pull the new FreeType and built it, and then I rebuilt the ft2demos tools.
So this has to have something to do with the way FreeType has been built.

Dear Adam,
Do you mean that other X11 programs (e.g. xterm) could
be started correctly, but ft2demos could not be?
I will try to find some access to the recent Mac OS X...

FreeType plus the "make" of current git ft2demos, the tools build
but when trying to use them, I get:
