Hello,

Is this thread asking to _disable_ bytecode interpreter?

Please don't do that. Bacause pdf which embedded with Windows Chinese
fonts will look like this if you disabled bytecode interpreter:

For years we have to either rebuild freetype, or use plf package.
Since there's no patent problems now, I beg you, seriously, please do
not disable bytecode interpreter in freetype.

Sincerely,

You-Cheng Hsieh
