+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.
