(...) I believe it is freetype 2.1.4 (based on the major/minor/patch definitions in freetype.h). The headers are last dated 2002, and a look at more recent freetype changelogs suggests that predates the introduction of "FTOrientation." It's annoying (...)

Man, I just realized that my old (URL) MPD Utility> is still listed on LDraw.org.

I've tried a little (without success) to get QT4 to build as a universal static library. If I get that working, I'll see if I can't work out the QT4-specific bugs.

Just an update on my LDView tinkering. I got Qt 3.3.7 compiled and used it to rebuild the current LDView 3.2 code. As predicted in the other LDView thread, using Qt 3.3.7 instead of Qt 4.2.2 resolved some of the issues I'd observed, most notably the (...) (19 years ago, 1-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
