derxen Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 There is a new freetype2, but texstar nor plf have made a bytecode-enabled version yet, so I decided to make my own. Here's how: 1) Get the src rpm from the mandrake cooker. 2) As root, do rpm -i freetype2-2.1.4-4mdk.src.rpm 3) cd to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS 4) Edit the first line of the spec file to read %define build_plf 1 5) Do rpmbuild -bb freetype2.spec 6) Watch it build. 7) Look for the rpm in /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 8) Do the usual rpm update or install. It seems to have worked for me: no errors. My fonts look good, but I haven't seen any dramatic improvements yet. Fonts in mozilla (1.4, texstar) are still crap though... And don't forget about the Patent Issues. derxen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
