Dear Werner,
My apologies for the late reply, the email was directed to the Junk E-Mail

Basically, FreeType doesn't provide special support for *any* platform. Or to
formulate it differently, FreeType should run on
*any* platform that comes with an ANSI C compiler. The normal configuration
for compilation of our library uses the GNU autoconf framework, which should be
able to correctly derive the used platform.
If that fails, there are various means to override the incorrect settings.
For some platforms, FreeType provides assembler routines for time-critical
functions. One of them is for i386, and I guess that this assembler code works
on Android x86 also.

Please be more specific. What exactly are the problems? Are there bug reports
or similar things that we can analyze?
