As the patents for the Bytecode interpreter has been expired [1], I wonder if we could build freetype '--with bytecode_interpreter' set.
How about a RFE for centosplus?
Even better, open an issue report - and offer to maintain the package in centosplus !

Sorry to pup-up so late but I'm very busy these days. I already have this freetype package for C6 in my personal repo, actually I've been using it for some days now without problems. http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/SRPMS/freetype-freeworld-2.4.4-6.el...
(packages also available for i386 and x86_64)
It's a shameless rebuild from rpmfusion. I guess it could be a good starting point.
To enable Bytecode Interpreter, you just have to rebuild the original (EL) freetype package with the '--with bytecode_interpreter' option set.
