Do not forget fontconfig. Using freetype directly without passing through a
shaper such as pango that queries fontconfig is not the way to support text
properly nowadays (I said pango because I don't remember the name of the
equivalent QT lib; and to add to your GTK and QT paths a very common one is
cairo=>pango=>freetype+fontconfig)
