* freetype2/src/sfnt/ttload.c (sfnt_dir_check): Modified to allow a font to have no `head' table if tables `SING' and `META' are present; this is to support `SING Glyphlet'. `SING Glyphlet' is an extension to OpenType developed by Adobe primarily to facilitate adding supplemental glyphs to an OpenType font (with emphasis on, but not necessariy limited to, gaiji to a CJK font). A SING Glyphlet Font is an OpenType font that contains the outline(s), either in a `glyf' or `CFF' table, for a glyph; `cmap', `BASE', and `GSUB' tables are present with the same format and functionaliy as a regular OpenType font; there are no `name', `head', `OS/2', and `post' tables; there are two new tables, `SING' which contains details about the glyphlet, and `META' which contains metadata. Further information on the SING Glyphlet format can be found at: http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/sing_gaiji.html * freetype2/include/freetype/ttags.h (TTAG_SING, TTAG_META): New macros for the OpenType tables `SING' and `META'. These two tables are used in SING Glyphlet Format fonts.
Special notes to Unix users
===========================
Please read the file "docs/UPGRADE.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 2.1.10

Bugs
====
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!
