Re: revised T42 support

[Mats Bengtsson]

When I tried to compile the latest GIT version today, I got some compilation
errors in lily/ttf.cc. It turns out that you use features such as 
FT_Sfnt_Table_Info,
which according to 
http://www.xaraxtreme.org/maillists/archive/dev/dev_042006/msg00278.html
wasn't introduced until freetype version 2.1.10, whereas our INSTALL 
file and
configure script only checks for freetype2.

Is it really necessary to use these recent features? In that case, the 
INSTALL
file and configure script should be updated. We already have too many
dependencies to recent versions of external programs, so it it's 
possible to
implement the same functionality with the features of earlier freetype2 
versions,
it would be preferable.
