Inkscape 0.43-2.el4 installed from DAG repository.

Symptom: Inkscape crashes with error message
** (inkscape:10094): WARNING **: Unable to open font file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/c0649bt_.pfb for font Century Schoolbook L, 512, exiting

Easiest way to reproduce is by selecting Help -> About from inkscape
although also happens with opening previous files.

When I downgrade to the previous releases (2.1.9-6.el4) of
freetype and freetype-devel inkscape behaves fine.
Happens on both i386 and x86_64 platforms.

cheers,
Ronnie
