Hello,

It seems this problem is not Windows only.
I have almost the same symptoms under Linux, Ubuntu Amd64, application 
crashes on exit and Valgrind mem debugger is reporting some double 
delete of DynamicLibrary for Free-type. A friend is also reporting a 
crash under Mac OS X/PPC with Free-type in the stack trace.

I will try to come with a more complete report.

Fact  is I could not reproduce the Linux crash/ Valgrind report with 
osgSimpleViewerQT. Whose content is very similar to our embedded viewer. 
I could not find differences in the use of Freetype in our application !?
