 Hi

 I am wondering when FreeType may be updated to the latest version? The
 current MacPort installs 2.12.1 which is now over a year old. Scribus
 would benefit from using a more recent version aligned with the latest
 harfbuzz 8.2.1 as just released via MacPorts.

 thanks \\

Comment:

 Yes, this update needs to be done. The reason for my delay in doing so is
 this statement in the release notes of 2.13.0:

 > This new release brings you a completely updated and enhanced ftinspect
 demo program, which now combines the functionality of almost all other
 graphical FreeType demo programs into a single application based on the Qt
 framework.

 Qt of course depends on FreeType, therefore in MacPorts we cannot have
 FreeType depending on Qt. I have not yet investigated what, if anything,
 is needed to tell FreeType not to attempt to build this new Qt-based demo
 program, even if Qt is installed.

 Later on, if desired, we could offer that demo program in a subport which
 would depend on FreeType and Qt.
