| 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: |
| |
| #undef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER |
| |
| - change it to: |
| |
| #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER |
| |
| of course, this must be done _before_ compiling the library |
