updating the OpenType Layout code, adding support fot the first
GSUB lookups. Nothing that really compiles for now though
* src/autohint/ahhint.c: disabled serif stem width quantization. It
produces slightly better shapes though this is not distinguishable
with many fonts.

(they differ slightly from Microsoft/OpenType ones in the way transform
offsets are computed).
- FreeType was very slow at opening certain asian CID/CFF fonts, due
to fixed increment in dynamic array re-allocations. This has been
changed to exponential behaviour to get acceptable performance
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- the PCF driver now supports gzip-compressed font files natively. This
means that you'll be able to use all these bitmap fonts that come
with XFree86 with FreeType (and libXft/libXft2, by extension).
- The automatic and postscript hinters have both been updated. This
results in a relatively important increase of rendering quality since
many nasty defaults have been supressed. Please visit the web page:

- The PFR driver now supports embedded bitmaps (all formats supported),

- Added support for the DESTDIR variable during "make install". This
simplifies packaging of FreeType.
- included modified copies of the ZLib sources in 'src/gzip' in order
to support gzip-compressed PCF fonts. We do not use the system-provided
zlib for now, though this is a probable enhancement for future releases
- The DocMaker tool used to generate the on-line API reference has been
completely rewritten. It is now located in

- A new, EXPERIMENTAL, path stroker has been added. It doesn't suffer
from severe rounding errors and treat bezier arcs directly. Still
work in progress (i.e. not part of the official API). See the file
