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.
