   1 This directory contains an experimental Type 1 driver that will ultimately
   2 replace the "official" one in "src/type1".
   3
   4 This driver doesn't provide a mini Postscript interpreter, but uses
   5 pattern matching in order to load data from fonts. It works better and
   6 faster than the official driver, but will replace it only when we finish
   7 the auto-hinting module..

   9 You don't need to compile it to support Type 1 fonts, the driver should
  10 co-exist peacefully with the rest of the engine however..
