Looks like you are missing the freetype packages from ftp.gtk.org -
FreeType-2.0.9 has some new functions that speed up TrueType handling
in Pango a lot, so I build the RPMS on gtk.org against FreeType-2.0.9
and put up RPMs up for the new version of FreeType as well.

I should have put a explicit dependency on FreeType-2.0.9 in the RPMS,
but it seems that I forgot to do that.
