Hi Eliot, sure I added you and David as Developers, tell me if you need
admin privileges.

Yes, I have separated FreeTypeConstants which is a pre-requisite currently
of FreeType, but this was vain indeed, the plugin is computing the offset
of each and every ivar so requires the exact class layout for each FreeType

Does a missing FreeTypeConstants explains the initialization problem, or is
it something else?
