[Fwd: [Cooker] A proposal for fixing the freetype bytecode interpreter for some] (fwd)

[Chipzz <chipzz ULYSSIS Org>]

I saw this on the cooker list. What may be interesting for the gpp project
is the --with option (in some cases).
Does anyone know how exactly this works, and on what platforms?

Regards,

Jan
