Red Hat 8.0 ships with the bytecode hinter enabled; I think 7.3 may have
The enabling change to "ftoption.h" is made by Red Hat's SRPM before
building.  Take a look at "freetype-2.1.1-enable-ft2-bci.patch" from the
SRPM; it's pretty clear that this does exactly what needs to be done.
So if your fonts look ugly, lack of bytecode hinting is *not* the cause.

I can't seem to build this package. It errors out because rpm found
files not included in any of the packages. I tried getting them addes
(it's the documentation that is being loaded) and was unsuccessful.
