How to enable the TrueType native hinter if you need it
-------------------------------------------------------
The TrueType bytecode interpreter is disabled in all public releases
of the FreeType packages for patents reasons; see
http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
for more details.
However, many Linux distributions do enable the interpreter in the
FreeType packages (DEB/RPM/etc.) they produce for their platforms. If
you are using TrueType fonts on your system, you most probably want to
enable it manually by doing the following:
- open the file `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
- locate a line that says:
2006-06-16 08:51:37 +02:00
/* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER */
- change it to:
2006-06-16 08:51:37 +02:00
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
These steps must be done _before_ compiling the library.
