The output of 'nm libfreetype.so | grep FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden':
00012c10 T FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

I have:
freetype/work/main.d/freetype-2.1.10/objs/.libs/ftsynth.o
garnome/include/freetype2/freetype/ftsynth.h

And there exists a line for ftsynth.c in 
freetype/work/main.d/freetype-2.1.10/src/base/rules.mk:
$ grep ftsynth.c rules.mk
                $(BASE_DIR)/ftsynth.c  \

so it should compiled correctly I suppose..

I am just a user and not a programmer, I am not sure what you mean by that.

Slackware-11.0RC5 ships with a freetype-2.1.9 package that does not 
include 'FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden' (I think because this is 
marked 'experimental') so I removed the package and compiled freetype-2.1.10. 
Now I have installed freetype 2 times, one package from garnome and my 
self-compiled one in /usr/local, both supporting 'FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'.

Thanks for your support,
Max.
