Discussion: #1: Shawn Rogers (67gta) (2011-09-25 03:31:18) The truetype bytecode patents have expired. http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html 11.4 shipped with freetype 2.4 still stripped down. If freetype is being maintained and updated for 12.1 (currently at 2.4.6), then autohinting should work out of the box. Can anyone confirm this? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312817
