<screen><userinput>tar xf ../freetype-doc-&freetype2-version;.tar.bz2 \
    --strip-components=2 -C docs</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>FreeType2</application> by running the following

./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>sed -i -r 's:.*(#.*BYTE.*) .*:\1:'
     include/freetype/config/ftoption.h</command>: This command enables the
     built-in TrueType bytecode interpreter which in turn enables hinting of
     TrueType glyphs. Enabling the interpreter results in much better rendering
     of TrueType fonts.</para>
