How to force VMware Workstation 6.5.2 to use system-provided freetype library
By Мартин | July 31, 2009
VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735 ships with its own freetype library which gets installed under /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libfreetype.so.6/
If your system has a custom built freetype library with the bytecode interpreter turned on then fonts in VMware GUI will not look like fonts in other applications. To fix this create a symbolic link to system-provided freetype library:
# cd /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libfreetype.so.6/
# mv libfreetype.so.6 libfreetype.so.6.orig
# ln -s /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 libfreetype.so.6
