I got this in play on linux

Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than or equal to 2.0.5. http://www.freetype.org

i just find out that if i use wine system in playonlinux the games work but if i use anyother version of wine i get the freetype problem. So i have the freetype libraries installed if not the game wouldnt work witj system wine.

is not a problem of just Funtoo i saw this post in the Gentoo forum https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1058636-highlight-playonlinux.html

he has the same problem as im.

 

Someone told me about this but i dont know if it has something to do with the playonlinux problem:

Looks like a recent update to glibc broke fontconfig, which is probably why wine is complaining.

Reference: https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/issues/5693

i also can not install quarz form playonlinux

Im on Funtoo linux, how can i solve the freetype problem?
