Thanks for the information.

It appears to me that it is probable that the problem is that if you 
have installed FreeType2 in: "/usr/local/" (which is the default if 
built from source, but perhaps a "non standard" location) that Qt does 
NOT find it.

This isn't really a bug, but it is an issue that needs to be addressed 
probably in the KDE instructions.

When I configure Qt, I use these additional options:

-L/usr/local/lib  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/freetype2

This appears to work, but I don't know if it is necessary or correct.
