Even if FT_CONFIG_OPTION_POSTSCRIPT_NAMES is undefined, the TrueType
driver should be able to return glyph names (as long as the other macro
named TT_CONFIG_OPTION_POSTSCRIPT_NAMES is defined !!)

What do you mean. You can already extract the TrueType glyph names
from a standard build of the library (because FT_CONFIG_OPTION_POSTSCRIPT_NAMES)
is defined by default in "ftoption.h".

Playing with this option is only useful if you want to build a _smaller_
version of FT2 that doesn't support all the formats and features of the
default build. This is typically for embedded systems that only need the
TrueType driver..

If you're using a default build of FT2, you shouldn't have to worry about
recompilation..
