[Qt-interest] freetype on Windows

Hi,

Please check qt/src/gui/text/text.pri (for 4.7/4.8)
or qtbase/src/gui/text/text.pri (for 5.0).

You can easily find the difference of which files
are compiled for win32, and for unix/x11/freetype,
and others.

If you can replace all methods in the win32-specific
sources by freetype backend, there is a possibility
that Qt works with freetype backend.

But, why do you want to use freetype on Win32 platform?

Regards,
mpsuzuki
