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
6
http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for more details).
8
However, many Linux distributions do enable the interpreter in the
9
FreeType packages (DEB/RPM/etc.) they produce for their platforms. If
10
you are using TrueType fonts on your system, you most probably want to
11
enable it manually by doing the following:
13
- open the file "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h"
15
- locate a line that says:
17
#undef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
21
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
23
These steps must be done _before_ compiling the library.
