<PRE>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?
