FreeType has been upgraded from 2.1.x => 2.2.x. Freetype-2.2.x does
*not* contain libttf.so. Applications that were linked against
libttf.so need to be rebuilt.

Just a clarification: freetype 2.1.x did not contain libttf.so either.
But until now the freetype package included both freetype 2.x and
freetype 1.x libraries. Since nothing in core needs freetype 1.x,
it was dropped now.

Hmmm...
From FC5:
freetype-2.1.10-5.2.1.ppc.rpm contains:
* libfreetype.so.6
* libfreetype.so.6.3.8
* libttf.so.2
* libttf.so.2.3.0
As for "nothing in core needs freetype 1.x", that may be correct. I
encountered this issue when installing a couple of apps from "extras",
* gfontview-0.5.0-5.fc5.ppc.rpm
* nagios-2.4-2.fc6.ppc.rpm

So, it looks like freetype1 is a good candidate for Extras. (:

The short answer is 'yes'.
I was able to rebuild nagios without freetype1. gfontview-0.5.0 does
not build without freetype1.

Further, the upgrade of freetype 2 resulted in this bug report, which
probably should be changed from pygame to SDL_ttf (which uses freetype 2):

Humm... I absolutely didn't like 2.2: too much smearing/blurring...
"Downgrading" immediately to good old 2.1...
