</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Thats a fact, but hat should happen is that freetype2 should have
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> bytecode interpreter disabled by default, since so far users prefer
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> it.
</I>&gt;<i> Seams Fedora choosed to finally fix it, it reverted freetype2 with a
</I>&gt;<i> patch to disable bytecode interpreter. -&gt;

</I>&gt;<i> Why dont we also do the same thing?
</I>&gt;<i> Since theres users complaining about it, why not solve it once for all?

</I>Hello,

Is this thread asking to _disable_ bytecode interpreter?

Please don't do that. Bacause pdf which embedded with Windows Chinese
fonts will look like this if you disabled bytecode interpreter:

For years we have to either rebuild freetype, or use plf package.
Since there's no patent problems now, I beg you, seriously, please do
not disable bytecode interpreter in freetype.

Sincerely,

You-Cheng Hsieh
