[Typo3-dev] RC2: "FreeType is apparently not installed" evenwhenit works for 3.6.0 RC1

[Matt McNeill]

The call that seems to be failing is as follows (as called by function
isTTF() at line 2306 of class.t3lib_install.php) in _GP($var) of
class.t3lib_div

Where $var = "testingTrueTypeSupport"

   $value = isset($GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'][$var]) ?
$GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'][$var] : $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'][$var];

This is failing (i.e. isset($value) = False) in RC2 where it works in RC1 on
my WAMP installation.

I'm not quite sure where to look from here, any hints?

Matt

It should be easy for some of you having the problem and apparently the
key to the problem as well to bugfix this for us. If someone can bring
up a convincing bugfix I will change it ASAP.
Please notice, I'm not opposed to fixing it - but as usual it is overly
complex to fix a bug "in blindness" as it would be for me not having
trouble myself.

It's not a bug, it's a missing feature.
