How did you compile the library ?. That's important because there are
several ways to build it on MacOS X.

If you used the content of "builds/mac", then FT_New_Face is disabled
by default, and the MacOS-specific APIs should be used instead.
See http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-mac_specific.html

If you build it with make as described for Unix systems, then you
should have a working a FT_New_Face, but the Mac-specific code shouldn't
be compiled in.

Hope this helps,
