BTW, it is hooked up to the cleartype mode of Font Validator 2.0 - 
https://github.com/HinTak/Font-Validator/blob/master/Compat/Compat.cs#L126

I shipped a rather heavily patched FreeType 2.6.4, mostly a few patches 
back-ported from 2.6.5/2.6.6...

I wondered whether I should hook up v38 instead, or in addition. Speed is 
definitely not a concern for a tool that uses private version of FreeType to 
analyze fonts - it will just take whatever reasonable time it takes to 
accomplish the task...
