I don't know anything about running gtk on Windows, so I can't be of much 
help. I can say that my patches use Xft on Linux, and so use FreeType. I 
guess that you need to do something special on Windows to enable the use of 
Xft or the equivalent. (On Linux, I had to set the environment variable 
"GDK_USE_XFT" to 1)
