Unable to build JUCE 5 plugins (issue in juce_freetype_Fonts.cpp)

[TheRedstoneDEV-DE]

Detailed steps on how to reproduce the bug

• build a plugin based on JUCE 5 / DISTRHO-Ports from the master branch (in this case)
  [the error occurs in branch v5.x-distrho, commit: 176f819]
  (this is not a bug, but a build failure, I hope this is the right place to report it, I'm sorry if I'm wrong here)
  I created a draft for fixing this build error, but there might be better solutions: [Draft] Fix juce_freetype_Fonts.cpp issue, causing to be unable to build JUCE 5 plugins #23

What is the expected behaviour?

• builds successful without any breaking errors

Operating systems

Linux

What versions of the operating systems?

NixOS, 24.11 (Vicuna) [nix-shell environment for manual build]

Architectures

x86_64
