src/sfnt/sfobjs.c, src/sfnt/sfdriver.c, src/base/ftnames.c:
fixing the SFNT name table loader to support various buggy fonts.
it now ignores empty name entries, entries with invalid pointer
offsets and certain fonts containing tables with broken "storageOffset"
fields.
name strings are now loaded on demand, which reduces the memory
requirements for a given FT_Face tremendously (for example, the
name table of Arial.ttf is about 10Kb and contains 70 names !!)
finally, this is a _quick_ fix. The whole name table loader and
interface will be rewritten in a much more cleanly way shortly,
once CSEH have been introduced in the sources.
Special notes to Unix users
===========================
Please read the file "README.UNX", it contains important
information regarding the installation of FreeType on Unix
systems, especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.
FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library
is called `libttf'. They are *not* compatible!
FreeType 2.1.1
==============
Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT
INFORMATION.
Read the files "docs/INSTALL" or "docs/BUILD" for installation
instructions.
Note that the FreeType 2 documentation is now available as a
separate package from our sites. See:
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.1.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.1.tar.gz

Reports
=======
Please report bugs by e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'. Don't
forget to send a detailed explanation of the problem -- there is
nothing worse than receiving a terse message that only says "it
doesn't work".
Enjoy!
