[Freetype] FreeType-2.1.2 for Windows

An MS-Windows (Win32) port of the latest release (2.1.2) of FreeType is
available from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net
FreeType is a free rasterizer and font engine.

LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.1.2 and 2.1.1

  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES

    - Many font drivers didn't select a Unicode charmap by default when
      a new face was opened (with the FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_CMAPS options
      enabled), causing many applications to not be able to display text
      correctly with the 2.1.x releases.

    - The PFR driver had a bug in its composite loading code that produces
      incorrectly placed accents with many fonts.

    - The Type42 driver crashed sometimes due to a nasty bug.

    - The Type 1 custom encoding charmap didn't handle the case where the
      first glyph index wasn't 0.

    - A serious typo in the TrueType composite loader produced incorrectly
      placed glyphs in fonts like "Wingdings" and a few others.


  II. MISCELLANEOUS

    - The Win32 Visual C++ project file has been updated to include the
      PFR driver as well.

    - "freetype.m4" is now installed by default by "make install" on Unix
      systems.

    - The function FT_Get_PS_Font_Info now works with CID and Type42 fonts
      as well.
