You're right that there seems to be a memleak somewhere, but it's something
strange, heaptrc reports 1 unfreed block and 0bytes unfreed. Never seen this
before. I will test with valgrind this afternoon to see if I can get some wiser
from it.
BTW, for those interested, I ported some code that allows bitmapped freetype
fonts be used in OpenGL this works a lot simpler than using the freetype
support from fcl-image. If you wish you can find the code here:
