Can't _anybody_ read?

I'm not running freetype from sid.  I have no intention of running it from sid.
When it gets to sarge, I'll give it a shot - IF I can do so without stepping on
anybody's patents.

However, that's not the issue.  The simple question is DOES antialiasing rely on
the bytecode interpreter or not?  The article cited as the basis for this thread
implied it does.
