Author: David Turner <david@freetype.org>
Commit: Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
freetype.h (FT_Set_Transform): Minor documentation update.
In order to mention the limited accuracy of `FT_Matrix' coefficients
and encourage client code to perform the transform themselves with
floating point values instead.
