I have an evil patch which redefines a few things and allows -art to work with
freetype 2.1.4. I use it here and it works_for_me(tm). I don't know enough
about this code to make the proper fix to the new 2.1.4 API.

(this hack works by using #define FTC_ImageDesc FTC_Image_Desc and renaming
calls to .type to .image_type. Like I said, evil.)

Anyhow, cheerio!
