Anybody use Derelict FreeType recently (successfully)

[WhatMeWorry via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Compiling and linking was error free, but when I hit

DerelictFT.load();

my program aborts with the following run time message:

derelict.util.exception.SymbolLoadException at source\derelict\util\exception.d(35): Failed to load symbol FT_Reference_Face from shared library freetype.dll

First of all, I'm not sure if I have a valid freetype.dll file. 
How does one tell?  I downloaded freetype-2.6 but couldn't find 
anything there.  I downloaded freetype-2.3.5 and found a 
freetype6.dll which I renamed to freetype.dll because that was 
want an online discussion said.

This then caused a new error where it said that zlib1.dll could 
not be found so I downloaded that.  Ran it again and now I am 
stuck with the exception above.

Can anybody help a fellow traveler?  Thanks.
