Still not fixed, I'll try again in a few hours.
BTW, you could check the ViewCVS Interface on sourceforge.net. It doesn't
work from there, only from freetype.org.

Wow, that's what i call a BUG.

OK, but I'm delaying this because I rewrote my whole library to use the
cache and do some more intelligent clipping and lots of other things. I have
to integrate my changes into our project first, then I'll be Purifying the
whole thing.
However, I don't think I will go through all of the FreeType code, as I'm
not using all of its features.

Cheers,
