--- Comment #6 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- Delayed import is a Windows term for a wait to link dynamic libraries, it's not applicable here. Freetype was always dynamically linked, and we always used the system library for it. For PE transition we are still using the system library. What happened is that it made your, already unsupported, way to build it less easy.
That's why I pointed out that it's possible to import freetype sources, remove PE-unixlib integration parts, and statically link freetype to dwrite.dll.
