Yes, this thread reports the same problem:
http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2005-June/013127.html
and suggests going back to old (original FC3) version until the problem 
is resolved. Have to install the original freetype-devel (first) and 
then the main freetype rpm's from CD using "rpm -Uvh --oldversion 
rpmfilename" Dag and others also recommend excluding the freetype and 
freetype-devel until the problem is resolved. Thanks for pointing me to 
this. Fonts now "good" again!
