Please excuse my ignorance: How can I change using freetypeh instead of 
freetypedyn (which is default and thus breaks existing code)? This is 
inside ftfont which is out of reach from my Lazarus program. I do not 
want to force a user of a short demo program to recompile the FCL. Or 
maybe I am completely lost...
