but GNU Emacs persist in telling:

        No font backend available
        Exit 255

The version of libfreetype does not seem to make a difference. But at  
least no crash happens. I thought of patching some pkg-config file to  
link up-to-date libs statically to have the proof that they work.  
Then the test with old Apple libs: should I do that? Some day? Soon?
