Hi,

it looks like they should be in package freetype2-devel (its spec file has a "Provides: libfreetype6-devel-static" line), but that package has only .so, but no .a. Is there a reason to this omission, or am I missing something ?

It is probably gone for good and that provides is wrong. Just wondering why you want to statically link it.. if there is a security hole in the library are you sure that you will rebuild the program again when that happens?
