* Why do identical FreeType versions render differently on different | ||||
platforms? | ||||
----- | ||||
Different distributions compile FreeType with different options. The | ||||
developer version of a distribution's FreeType package, which is | ||||
needed to compile your program against FreeType, includes the file | ||||
ftoption.h. Compare each platform's copy of ftoption.h to find the | ||||
differences. | ||||
