sudo apt-get -qq install libfreetype6:i386

Today I did a new pharo install (get.pharo.org/40+vm) on a server (ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, 64-bit with 32-bit libs). All went fine, as usual, but I was confused about the following:

$ ./st-exec.st run-t3-proxies start t3-proxies
Executing ./st-exec.st run-t3-proxies start t3-proxies
Working directory /home/t3/pharo/t3-proxies
Starting run-t3-proxies in background

ioLoadModule(/home/t3/pharo/bin/pharo-vm/libFT2Plugin.so):
libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why is freetype needed/accessed for a headless image (that otherwise runs happily) ?

Other operations (building, saving, ..) do not produce the error/warning.
