I'm running the new ft2 backend now for all scalled fonts.ยน
Most everything looks good so far. I've tried several different

Hi Juliusz,
Red Hat will use a updated ttmkfdir in the next release, we updated the
ttmkfdir to FreeType2 and also added some other CJK releated
features(like TTCap), and it uses system encodings.dir as default to

but I couldn't put m

Fine. Although mkfontscale will still only generate `adobe-fontspecific'.

According to David Turner, this may be a bug in FreeType 2.0.9 that
was fixed in 2.1.0. I haven't had time to test his guess yet.

I can do that; feel free to test with it and see if it does fix t

That's the plan ultimately (I wouldn't dare disobey Keith), but it's
still premature for two reasons.

Hi, all. First thing to say: if this mail is redundant, I am sorry.
