Hi,
I think the reason why this occurred is because the check "if ( w < 8 || w > 15 )" is only present
in the old version of zlib, the newer ones don't have this check.
As far as I know, FreeType can either use the externally installed Zlib (in which case this code
will work fine, hopefully). However, if your FreeType build uses the built-in copy of zlib (which
is quite old) the code breaks.
Werner, I think this change shouldn't have been made to master because it fails with the built-in version of zlib. Don't know what we should do now. Probably revert it?
