Slackware需要"bytecode interpreter"吗？

(15:44:08) LeiDan: Do you know those:
# The line below enables code patented by Apple, so don't uncomment it
# unless you have a license to use the code and take all legal responsibility
# for doing so.
# Please see this web site for more details:

#zcat $CWD/freetype.bytecode.interpreter.diff.gz | patch -p1 --verbose || exit 1
(15:45:38) eric_icq: Yes I know about that line
(15:46:10) eric_icq: Slackware cannot ship binaries with that patented code enabled, but you can always 
rebuild the freetype package with the bytecode interpreter enabled
(15:46:54) eric_icq: I used that in the past, but not nowadays. I have heard too many stories that it is no
 longer necessary because of the good quality of the freetype autohinter. 
(15:48:12) eric_icq: Plus, for the bytecode interpreter to function you must use a font that has the required 
glyphs in it, and the Microsoft Arial has them for instance. But most of the fonts you get with Linux do not have 
these extra glyphs embedded so you won't see an improvement after enabling the bytecode interpreter
(15:51:51) LeiDan: Do you think maybe Chinese fonts need "bytecode interpreter" more than English fonts?
(15:54:40) eric_icq: That could be, yes. What you should look for in the information about these fonts, is: 
do they have additional "glyphs" that a bytecode interpreter can take advantage of. Most free fonts will not have 
that I guess, because it is a lot of extra work to add glyphs to a font definition
