Thank you for the information.  The problems are now very obvious.
The next question is:  What do we do?  Miles has spent considerable

has had no success.

OK. Attached example is generated by FreeType2 which both of
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER and NO_APPLE_PATENT are defined.
The result looks good.
