Previously we discovered fonts which used `setcurrentpoint' to set the initial point of a contour to 0,0. This caused FreeType to raise an error, because the `setcurrentpoint' operator is only supposed to be used with the results from an OtherSubr subroutine. This was fixed by simply ignoring the error and carrying on. Now we have found a font which uses setcurrentpoint to actually establish a non-zero point for a contour during the course of a glyph program. FWIW, these files may be produced by an application called `Intaglio' on the Mac, when converting TrueType fonts to Type 1. The fix allows the new invalid behaviour, the old invalid behaviour and real proper usage of the operator to work the same way as Adobe interpreters apparently do. (t1_decoder_parse_charstrings): Make `setcurrentpoint' use the top two elements of the stack to establish unconditionally the current x and y coordinates. Make the `flex' subroutine handling (OtherSubr 0) put the current x,y coordinates onto the stack, instead of two dummy uninitialised values.
Special notes to Unix users
===========================
Please read the file `docs/UPGRADE.UNIX'. 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!

Bugs
====
Please report bugs by e-mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.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'.
Alternatively, you may submit a bug report at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype
Enjoy!
