The compiler seems to think that FT_Init_FreeType is a variable. Is that 
really a function pointer? Can you show how it's defined.

My simple test works:

extern (C) int init_func(double){
     return 42;
}

static auto my_func = &init_func;

struct S {
     static S init() {
         return S(0);
     }

     this(int) {
         my_func(1.5);
     }
}

void main() {
     auto s = S.init();
}
