Understood. I'll do the testing eventually if no one else does. My  
Windows XP machine died a while ago. (I'll have to get one soon since  
most of my customers use Windows.) I normally cross-compile for Win32  
on my Macintosh, but haven't tried to cross-compile Freetype. It's  
not clear how soon I can work on this, so I made the code available  
in case anyone else has the time and interest to try it sooner. For  
my own purposes I can work around the problem by using  
FT_New_Memory_Face on Win32, until FT_New_Face is fixed.

All the best,

Tom
