Great.  Thanks, I will do that quick as a flash.  I have to admit I
forgot, while I was typing, to add in something I know very well:
epi[phasy is based very strongly on mozilla, so anything that breaks
mozilla is likely to break epiphany.  I will go update the freetype2 port,
and see, I betch that fixes epiphany.

BTW, notice ever how screwed up freetype is, as a port?  Not the FreeBSD
port, I'm talking abou tthey way someone structured the freetype stuff
itself, what a horrible build, the FreeBSD porter had real guts.

New Year's Resolution:  I will not sphroxify gullible people into looking up
fictitious words in the dictionary (on the wall at my old fraternity,
Signa Phi Nothing).
