Details

After pacman -Syu, which included upgrade to freetype2-2.2.1-2.pkg.tar.gz

foobillard 3.0a-1 started from an xterm crashes immediately at starting, the foobillard window vanishes, and control returns to the xterm, leaving the font-related error message:
"FT_Load_Glyph:error#6"
The crash always happens, in the same way, with the same message.

After "pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/freetype2-2.1.10-3.pkg.tar.gz", foobillard runs normally again.

I can make the problem appear and disappear by switching between the two versions of freetype2.

This is a fresh installation from the 0.7.1 CD, done only a couple of weeks ago.
NVidia 3DForce MX4000Twin, nvidia driver, TwinView enabled
glxgears runs fine and fast with either freetype version.

I read on
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/freetype-2.2.0.html
that some X apps might have problems with this new version of freetype.
I'm not an X developer, so I don't know what else to check.
I hope someone can help sort this out; I will miss my foobillard breaks if foobillard's broke. TIA for your help.

I just realized that I submitted this under AUR, and it should have been Arch Linux. I checked which one it should be, but forgot to change the pulldown. Neither foobillard nor freetype are in the AUR. Is there any way to change it at this point, or cancel this task? I don't see how. Sorry for the mixup.

Arch user iggy reported foobillard crashing with the same error message on the Multimedia and Games forum, with the subject line:
foobillard: ft_load_glyph:error#6
