-This  file describes various  problems that  have been  encountered in
-compiling,  installing  and   running  FreeType  2.   Suggestions  for
-additions or other improvements to this file are welcome.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Running Problems
-================
-
-
-* Some Type 1, Multiple Masters, and CID-keyed PostScript fonts aren't
-  handled correctly.
-
------
-
-Of course,  there might be  bugs in FreeType,  but some fonts based on
-the  PostScript  format can't  be handled indeed.  The reason  is that
-FreeType  doesn't contain a full  PostScript  interpreter  but applies
-pattern matching instead.  In case a font doesn't follow the  standard
-structure of the given font format, FreeType fails.  A typical example
-is Adobe's `Optima'  font family which  contains extra code  to switch
-between low and high resolution versions of the glyphs.
-
-It might be  possible to patch  FreeType in  some situations,  though.
-Please report failing fonts so that we investigate the problem and set
-up a list of such problematic fonts.
-
-
-* Why do identical FreeType  versions render differently  on different
-  platforms?
-
------
-
-Different distributions compile FreeType with different options.   The
-developer  version of  a  distribution's  FreeType  package,  which is
-needed to compile  your program  against FreeType,  includes the  file
-ftoption.h.  Compare  each platform's  copy of ftoption.h to  find the
-differences.

-
-Compilation Problems
-====================
-
-
-* I get an `internal compilation error' (ICE) while compiling FreeType
-  2.2.1 with Intel C++.
-
-  This has been reported for the following compiler version:
-
-    Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
-      Version 9.0 Build 20050430Z Package ID: W_CC_P_9.0.019
-
------
-
-The best solution is to update the compiler to version
-
-  Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
-    Version 9.1 Build 20060323Z Package ID: W_CC_P_9.1.022
-
-or newer.  If this isn't feasible, apply the following patch.
