Cygwin font problems

[Steve Holden]

Is anyone aware of (a fix for) problems I'm having getting PIL 1.1.5 to 
create bitmaps using TrueType and openType fonts? When I create an image 
using the standard PIL fonts everything seems fine, but when I use 
ImageFont.truetype(<font-file>, <size>) no text is drawn.

setup.py reports from debug print statements that it's finding freetype21.

The same code using (Fredrik's pre-built binary) on Windows runs 
correctly and produces correct images.

Cygwin runs Python 2.4.1, Windows runs 2.4. Any light on this mystery 
gratefully received.

regards
  Steve
