Do you know if the rest of the stuff in http://source.impara.de/freetype/ still has value (or has it been superceded by Freetype Plus)?
I would think so, that's why there wasn't any further development on the freetype plugin. The current repositories are of somewhat historical value for e.g. the Sophie builds.
I have opened a new SqueakSource project for the Freetype plugin (FT2Plugin).
MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/FreetypePlugin' user: '' password: ''
This contains copies of all the Freetype-Plugin entries from the archival repository at http://source.impara.de/freetype, as well as one additional update from Mantis 7521.
Project administrators are Andy Tween, Bert Freudenberg and me. Developers are everyone whose author initials appear in the original archive.
VMMaker class>>updateFromServer should now load FT2Plugin from the new FreetypePlugin repository. A similar update will be needed for ConfigurationOfVMMaker for Pharo.
For now the original package name Freetype-Plugin has been retained, although I note that this conflicts with the current packaging of Freetype in SqS/Freetype Plus, so a change to the package name may be in order.
FT2Plugin contains dependencies on Freetype. This is the reason that I moved it to a separate SqueakSource project rather than include it in the SqS/VMMaker repository.
