No, it isn't. You may be being confused by the unnecessary inclusion of brackets (parentheses if you're American); remove them and you see that the TrueType byte-code interpreter is recommended. Or, just consider the phrase "the recommended TrueType bytecode interpreter", with or without brackets. I can't see how that could be thought ambiguous. -- Rgds Peter.
