Re: Wine and libfreetype.so

Thanks for this info!

Wouldn't it work to simply symlink libfreetype.dylib to  
libfreetype.so, or does Wine have to be recompiled with a patch in  
place to replace the .so with the .dylib?

I suppose it might be best to wait for Wine to have native OS X  
support, since there are no guarantees that simply tweaking filenames  
around would result in success...
