Re: [ROOT] disable true type fonts in root cvs head

Yes, this is correct. Internally it will keep using freetype to e.g.
render to postscript (calculate starting positions, etc), but when
UseTTFonts is false it will not render using ttf fonts. At startup you
can see this when the line:

FreeType Engine v2.1.3 used to render TrueType fonts.

is printed or not.
