Initial import from the monolithic Qt.
This is the beginning of revision history for this module. If you want to look at revision history older than this, please refer to the Qt Git wiki for how to use Git history grafting. At the time of writing, this wiki is located here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/GitIntroductionWithQt If you have already performed the grafting and you don't see any history beyond this commit, try running "git log" with the "--follow" argument. Branched from the monolithic repo, Qt master branch, at commit 896db169ea224deb96c59ce8af800d019de63f12

+This file describes various problems that have been encountered in
+compiling, installing and running FreeType 2. Suggestions for
+additions or other improvements to this file are welcome.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Running Problems
+================
+
+
+* Some Type 1, Multiple Masters, and CID-keyed PostScript fonts aren't
+ handled correctly.
+
+-----
+
+Of course, there might be bugs in FreeType, but some fonts based on
+the PostScript format can't behandled indeed. The reason is that
+FreeType doesn't contain a full PostScript interpreter but applies
+pattern matching instead. In case a font doesn't follow the standard
+structure of the given font format, FreeType fails. A typical example
+is Adobe's `Optima' font family which contains extra code to switch
+between low and high resolution versions of the glyphs.
+
+It might be possible to patch FreeType in some situations, though.
+Please report failing fonts so that we investigate the problem and set
+up a list of such problematic fonts.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Compilation Problems
+====================
+
+
+* I get an `internal compilation error' (ICE) while compiling FreeType
+ 2.2.1 with Intel C++.
+
+ This has been reported for the following compiler version:
+
+ Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
+ Version 9.0 Build 20050430Z Package ID: W_CC_P_9.0.019
+
+-----
+
+The best solution is to update the compiler to version
+
+ Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
+ Version 9.1 Build 20060323Z Package ID: W_CC_P_9.1.022
+
+or newer. If this isn't feasible, apply the following patch.
