Bug#340001: freetype bytecode interpreter in the X.org X server

[Vasilis Vasaitis <v.vasaitis@sms.ed.ac.uk>]

  Hello,

  I'm joining along here to express my support for this patch and bug
report in general. For me, enabling the bytecode interpreter and
compiling my own X.org packages made the difference between actually
upgrading to xserver-xorg and sticking with xserver-xfree86. With
current xserver-xorg packages (in fact, all of them from the
beginning) server-side truetype fonts look *very* ugly, which makes
applications like emacs all but unusable.

  It should be noted also that the debian freetype packages *do* have
the bytecode interpreter enabled in their default build, which is why
client-side fonts (used by all modern applications) don't suffer from
this problem.

  As a final note, bug #345865 appears to be a duplicate of this bug,
so the two should probably be merged.

Thanks,
Vasilis
