The "freetype-config" script is installed when Freetype2 is installed.· The installation directory can be specified by the --prefix=< some dir > command line parameter to the configure script.· A statically linked version can be created (on Linux/Unix) by compiling like this: % make STATIC=-static installRUNNING otf2bdfType the following to get a list of command line options: % otf2bdf -h
