xorg.conf - "freetype" module

[Niatross]

Does anybody know the last version of Xorg that required the "freetype" module to be loaded in the xorg.conf?

Also...what year was it?

I have been reading on this and it looks like X11 uses the X font library (libXfont) to load the freetype module automatically. Is this correct?

Since Xorg 7.4 (released on September 23, 2008), all necessary modules load by default.

Yes, the functionality of the freetype module is contained in the libXfont library.
