Hi Dean,

Digging into my IRC logs I’ve finally exhumed the answer!
I don’t know why it has been removed from INSTALL file but here is what you 
could found before rev215, and it’s still true:
«
        - Freetype2 (it works for sure with 2.3.5, if gcc complains
        about prototypes mismatch at line ~84 of fontitem.cpp,
        please upgrade)
»

So, basically, you need a newer Freetype2 version (seems that FC5 comes with 
2.1.9). For my information, is there a Qt4 package for FC5?
If you mainatain a local, up to date, Qt4 and you have Qt4.4.x (and upgraded 
your Freetype2 version of course :)), I would recommend you try the Trunk 
version of Fontmatrix. From my point of view, it’s still unfinished, not 
polished, etc. (and that’s why we do not release a 0.5) but it’s really 
better.
