Fixed, thanks.
And congratulations for the hawk eye!

Well, I have modified the one in freetype/ (and ftpascal/)
according to the most recent information I have about patents,
which exist (AFAIK) in France, UK and USA. Since I do not want
to modifiy to much (read, anything beyond typo fixing)
Freetype 2, I did not realise the same changes in the Freetype 2
tree, letting this to e.g. David. My fault was that I did not
notify David or Werner of the "problem" when we discussed this.
As a result, the text are slightly different for about a year,
and they probably should not.
Note that the resulting text (in Freetype 2) is not wrong, it is
just less precise than the other one.
