[vtkusers] vtkFreeTypeUtilities.h includes FTGL.h?

[Benoit Scherrer]

Hi,

I just tried again with the last version of VTK on the repository and
nothing has not changed about that.
It seems that anybody wanting to use vtkFreeTypeUtilities.h cannot compile
their application with an install
version of VTK. Isn t it a major bug? Or are we not supposed to use
vtkFreeTypeUtilities.h ?

Thanks a lot!
B
