My fault, I forgot to comment some #ifdef out (correct version attached)

Do you want to include fondu into Scribus? The source code doesn't look 
very clean.

Also the font reading and checking in Scribus is already done by 
freetype. We only
need some additional functionality to identify the type and get the 
font data for embedding.

Ideally freetype would provide this ... maybe I should rewrite it into 
a patch for freetype.
