+ - The handling of `tricky' fonts (this is, fonts which don't work
+ with the autohinter, needing the font format's hinting engine)
+ has been generalized and changed slightly:
+
+ . A new face flag FT_FACE_FLAG_TRICKY indicates that the font
+ format's hinting engine is necessary for correct rendering.
+ The macro FT_IS_TRICKY can be used to check this flag.
+
+ . FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING is now ignored for tricky fonts. To really
+ force raw loading of such fonts (without hinting), both
+ FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING and FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT must be used --
+ this is something which you probably never want to do.
+
+ . Tricky TrueType fonts always use the bytecode interpreter,
+ either the patented or unpatented version.
