Before the official 2.0.0 release, CVS versions had the bytecode interpreter enabled by default. The packager of freetype2 (who's that? cannot check now) apperently didn't know or care about this change. I have repeated here at least 3 times (without any response) that it is ridiculous to ship a freetype1 with bytecodeinterpreter (it cannot be disabled) and a crippled freetype2 without BC. Maybe somebody should write a wrapper lib around freetype1 so it has a freetype2 api (I hope everybody sees how ridiculous this would be, but it would give you nice fonts). I'd like an official standpoint on this: either crippled freetype2 and NO freetype1, or working freetype2. You cannot be sued twice for the same thing. I think most other distro's just enable the BC.
