[Mageia-dev] why not disable bytecode interpreter in freetype2 ?

In mandriva sincepatent expiration in freetype, fonts display wasnt
+smoth anymore and appeared ugly fonts, this used to exist just in
+plf..
+
+But since theres no patents issues pending, why not old rendering
+algorithms by default (disable bytecode interpreter), that way fonts
+will have a better rendering and look.
+
+This is most true for guys that are used to use small fonts, for
+example im used to use Sans size 8, like its now in mageia, they dont
+look very good and also appear smaller that if using bytecode
+interpreter disabled, so to be able to have a good rendering font
+look, i always repackage freetype2.
+
+Why not Mageia start using also bytecode interpreter disabled by default?
