I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

- Certain fonts like "foxjump.ttf" contain broken name tables with
invalid entries and wild offsets. This caused FreeType to crash when
trying to load them.

these strange fonts.

III. MISCELLANEOUS
-

- The FreeType sources are under heavy internal re-factoring. As a
consequence, we have created a branch named "STABLE" on the CVS to
hold all future releases/fixes in the 2.0.x family.

The HEAD branch now contains the re-factored sources and shouldn't be

LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.8 and 2.0.7
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
-
+
- There was a small but nasty bug in "freetype-config.in" which
caused the "freetype-config" script to fail on Unix.
-
+
This didn't prevent the installation of the library or even
its execution, but caused problems when trying to compile many
Unix packages that depend on it.
-
+
- Some TrueType or OpenType fonts embedded in PDF documents do
not have a 'cmap', 'post' and 'name' as is required by the
specification. FreeType no longer refuses to load such fonts.
- various fixes to the PCF font driver
