Thank you. I know. I was reporting an error on the savannah site,
which ought to work as advertised.

FreeType 2.4.6 has been released.
It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/
The latter site also holds older versions of the
FreeType library.
See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES
file; users of
version 2.4.5 should upgrade immediately.
Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed
to be small,
efficient, highly customizable, and portable
while capable of
producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most
vector and bitmap
font formats.
Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't
provide APIs to
perform higher-level features, like text layout or
graphics processing
(e.g., colored text rendering, `hollowing', etc.).
However, it
greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple,
easy to use, and
uniform interface to access the content of font files.
FreeType 2 is released under two open-source
licenses: our own
BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL. It can thus
be used by any
kind of projects, be they proprietary or not.

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.5 and 2.4.6
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and
descender values were
incorrect sometimes (off by a pixel if the ppem
value was not a
multiple of 5). Depending on the use you might
now experience
a different layout; the change should result in
better, more
consistent line spacing.
- Fix CVE-2011-0226 which causes a vulnerability
while handling
Type 1 fonts.
- BDF fonts containing glyphs with negative values
for ENCODING
were incorrectly rejected. This bug has been
introduced in
FreeType version 2.2.0.
- David Bevan contributed a major revision of the
FreeType stroker
code:
. The behaviour of FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL has
been corrected.
. A new line join style,
FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED, has
been introduced to support PostScript and PDF
miter joins.
. FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE has been
introduced as an
alias for FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER.
. Various stroking glitches has been fixed.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph
for `.notdef'
only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE
flag.
