@Bekas: how did you get freetype to build CLR?

...since it has a struct member named "generic"....

You can build with /clr only specific .cpp files and not the whole project.
I've put all the CLR stuff in a couple of files and build them with /clr, the rest of Ogre is getting built with normal C++ compilation.

I suppose the font stuff is part of that non-CLR code.

Thanks!
