I tried rebuilding with '--with-freetype'. mscgen builds but always 
exits with an error code. This is because gdImageStringFT() always 
returns the string 'Could not set character size'. By default, the code 
is trying to use the 'helvetica' font. I have a goodly selection of font 
packages installed. Any ideas?

Dave.
