No, you are wrong.  The FreeType *Fedora package* was shipping both
FreeType 1 and FreeType 2, so it included libttf.so.  When updating it
to FreeType 2.2.1, I removed the FreeType 1 stuff.  That hit Rawhide
this weekend.  I'm going to package freetype1 for extras.

To summarize, this has nothing to do with FreeType proper, or GNOME.
Just a Fedora packaging issue.
