Xorg "freetype" module

[Niatross]

I have noticed that some of the font ports require the "freetype" module to be loaded in the xorg.conf file.

I have also noticed messages that say you only need to load the "freetype" module if you have an older version of Xorg.

Two questions:

What's versions of Xorg require the user to load the "freetype" module? Do I have to load this module if I have the latest version of Xorg?

What's versions of Xorg require the user to load the "freetype" module?

A couple of versions ago, can't remember the exact version.

Do I have to load this module if I have the latest version of Xorg?

No, if I recall correctly it's loaded by default, have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
