It is actually identical and should not make a difference. The freetype 
package was introduced to provide better anti-aliasing but was in some 
cases worse. (See discussion on RPMforge mailinglist)

The fact that I still offer it is to correct that situation. (Hence the 
silly versioning)

Now I'm using that package with firefox 1.5.0.5 (and before 1.5.0.3) and 
have no problems with extensions and/or firefox. Which of course does not 
mean that freetype is not responsible for the problems. I just doubt that 
my freetype package is responsible though. The situation is more complex 
than that.

I'm sure people with the RHEL freetype package have the same problem, 
likewise people with the RPMforge freetype package (like me) have had no 
problems.

Kind regards,
