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: + + /* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER */ + + - change it to: + + #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER + + These steps must be done _before_ compiling the library. + +------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +Copyright 2003, 2005, 2006 by +David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. + +This file is part of the FreeType project, and may only be used, +modified, and distributed under the terms of the FreeType project +license, LICENSE.TXT.
