How to enable the TrueType native hinter if you need it
2
-------------------------------------------------------
4
The TrueType bytecode interpreter is disabled in all public releases
5
of the FreeType packages for patents reasons; see
7
http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
11
However, many Linux distributions do enable the interpreter in the
12
FreeType packages (DEB/RPM/etc.) they produce for their platforms. If
13
you are using TrueType fonts on your system, you most probably want to
14
enable it manually by doing the following:
16
- open the file `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
18
- locate a line that says:
20
/* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER */
24
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
26
These steps must be done _before_ compiling the library.
