Details

At some point in the past, musescore supported linking to the system-intalled freetype2, but the cmake option (-DUSE_SYSTEM_FREETYPE) was removed in the 4.x stable branches. A new flag (-DMUE_COMPILE_USE_SYSTEM_FREETYPE) was recently introduced in the master branch to support this linkage again.

Using the system freetype2 appears to fix a bug with the Arch package, affecting a font rendering issue in several dialog boxes. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/18704 for background.

PR that added the new cmake option: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/19000

Attached is the packaging change I used for my local testing.
