+How to enable the TrueType native hinter if you need it
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+  The  TrueType  bytecode  interpreter  is disabled  in  all  public
+  releases  of  the  FreeType  packages  for  patents  reasons  (see
+  http://www.freetype.org/patents.html for more details).
+
+  However, many Linux distributions do enable the interpreter in the
+  FreeType packages (DEB/RPM/etc.) they produce for their platforms.
+  If you are using TrueType  fonts on your system, you most probably
+  want to enable it manually by doing the following:
+
+    - open the file "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h"
+
+    - locate a line that says:
+
+          #undef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
+
+    - change it to:
+
+          #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
+
+    of course, this must be done _before_ compiling the library
