 above *is* a clean, system-wide solution.  Right now,
 there is no possibility by a user (or by the
 system administrator) to
 influence the
 default rendering setup of FreeType at run-time.
 Setting an environment variable is
 approximately equal to setting the
 font
 rendering parameters in the system configuration of MS
 Windows,
 say.


I am just very sure how early an environment variable needs to be set for it to 
pick up - fontconfig is system-wide and user-overridable, it would be nice to
put this setting there. As is, since the X server itself has some dependency on 
freetype, it may not be enough to put it in the user's bashrc/profile?

BTW, I already picked up the mac linkage fix from git.
