You are compiling statically? If you are, does your link line looks like:

...
-Wl,-uIDirectFBFont_Default
/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/interfaces/IDirectFBFont/libidirectfbfont_default.a
-Wl,-uIDirectFBFont_FT2
/usr/lib/directfb-0.9.22/interfaces/IDirectFBFont/libidirectfbfont_ft2.a
...

Also, what version of directfb are you using? right now mine shows:
$> dpkg --list libdirectfb-dev
ii  libdirectfb-de 0.9.22-8ubuntu frame buffer graphics library, development f

That's because i'm using ubuntu dapper. It might be the case that this
is the latest libdirectfb-dev package from Debian unstable. But I
can't confirm this.

Can you at least get splashy to compile as is in svn now? in my case
it works like a charm.
