Font rendering engine and library API
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 2.4.2,
Package name: freetype2-2.4.2,
Maintainer: rhFreeType is a portable, high-quality software solution for digital
typography. FreeType 1.3.1 was the last release of the FreeType 1
engine, as the project is now switching to a new version dubbed FreeType
2. It has, among other things, several advantages over FreeType 1:
* A universal and simple API to manage font files
* Support for several font formats through loadable drivers
* Even more portable
* An improved anti-aliasing algorithm

Log message:
Update to freetype2-2.4.2:
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.1 and 2.4.2
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- A stack overflow in CFF Type2 CharStrings interpreter is fixed.
- Handling Type 42 font deallocation was broken; additionally, the
library is now more robust against malformed Type 42 fonts.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- Two new functions, `FT_Reference_Library' (in FT_MODULE_H) and
`FT_Reference_Face' (in FT_FREETYPE_H), have been added to
simplify life-cycle management. A counter gets initialized to 1
at the time an FT_Library (or FT_Face) structure is created.
The two new functions increment the respective counter.
`FT_Done_Library' and `FT_Done_Face' then only destroy a library
or face if the counter is 1, otherwise they simply decrement the
counter.

Log message:
update to 2.4.1
changes:
- Since May 2010, all patents regarding the TrueType bytecode
interpreter have expired worldwide. Consequently, we now define
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER by default (and undefine
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING).
- A new function `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights' is available to
adjust the filter weights set by `FT_Library_SetLcdFilter'.
-increased robustness, bugfixes
pkgsrc note: the "truetype" option was removed, the bytecode interpreter
is now always enabled

small sizes. All users should upgrade.
