Perhaps that file has an error in it, or perhaps freetype2 at one
point decided to change their version numbering in a rather odd way,
going backwards!

Freetype just has a couple of different versioning schemes. The version number
"9.7.3" in the .pc file corresponds to release 2.1.9, and "9.16.3" corresponds
to release 2.3.5. (And then there's the numbering scheme which it uses for its
.so versions, which is different yet again.)

See the file src/docs/VERSION.DLL in the freetype package for details.

Thank you. Having read src/docs/VERSION.DLL, I see that there are in fact *three* different numbers all associated with the version. It is any wonder I've been confused?
