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

I reported a wish here:
