hello,
i need to install the libfreetype as i need to get PIL to function correctly

File "/Users/khinester/.virtualenvs/itools/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 34, in __getattr__
raise ImportError("The _imagingft C module is not installed")
ImportError: The _imagingft C module is not installed

when i try to run:

☹ brew install freetype ""
Error: No available formula for freetype
Apple distributes freetype with OS X, you can find it in /usr/X11/lib.
However not all build scripts look here, so you may need to call ENV.x11
in your formula's install function.

what am i missing?

thanks
