Well, I've been building the dynamic library and then using LD_PRELOAD 
to reference it.  I verified with ldd that it is in fact loading the 
newly-compiled library.  Still, I am unable to reproduce it.  From a 
stock 2.4.11, if I build it without modifying anything, I get the nice 
B/W rendering.  If I then go into include/freetype/config/ftoption.h and 
enable subpixel hinting and rendering, I still get the nice B/W 
rendering.  How would I go about running ftview once I have the static 
.a library?
