Which version of FT you have used?

It might be possible that freetype.dsw is not updated properly...

I'll leave this to Antoine Leca who is responsible for this file.

This is good to hear! We would be glad if you can provide fixes for
your target platform in case it is necessary. You might also consider
loking at the FreeType 2 beta which provides better modularity,
possibly reducing the memory footprint. Again, patches and/or
additional platform support files are highly welcome.
