wine users - Jul 2008 - Cant use Darwine on PPC with 10.5 Leopard

Hi all,

ill start off by saying that I've tried reading and doing everything that
was on the documentation.  I'm not very code/C++ literate.

I have a Power PC Macintosh that I run Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard with.

I'm going through all this trouble to run 1 simple program, Soulseek.

I downloaded Darwine 0.9.27 DP.

When i try to run any program, soulseek, notepad/clock that came with darwine,
it says that "Wine cannot find the FreeType font library.  To enable Wine
to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.
http://www.freetype.org"

i downloaded freetype 2.3.7, it didnt work.  then i downloaded fontforge, it
didnt work.

any help with this so that I can run soulseek would be GREATLY appreciated!! 
thanx again

My builds of darwine are Intel only.  I only have a MBP, i have no
experience in running Darwine on a PPC machine. Sorry.
