[vtkusers] vtkRenderingFreeTypePython: ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

[Marco Masciola]

Hi VTK Users and Developers,

I recently installed VTK 8.2.0 with Python wrappings on my Windows machine,
and am finding an error when importing VTK with the error message below.
The errors seems to be related to DLL initialization errors on the
vtkRenderingFreeTypePython side. Has anyone encountered this before? Even
further below, I posted the relevant parts of my CMackCache related to
building the python wrappings. I'm on Windows 7 and compiling with Visual
Studio 7. My VTK is Qt enabled.

Cheers,

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
