+7: FreeType issues
+===============================
+
+Nautilus includes support for rendering anti aliased text (Smooth mode).
+For smooth mode to work, Nautilus needs to detect and use FreeType2
+in your system.
+
+To learn more about FreeType2, please see:
+
+ http://freetype.sourceforge.net/
+
+If you are using a RedHat 6.x or greater system, then you can easily
+add FreeType2 support byt installing the rpms found here:
+
+ http://developer.eazel.com/eazel-hacking/updates/freetype2
+
+We will soon have additional autoconf flags for supporting FreeType2
+builds in arbitrary locations.
+
+We will also soon have the equivalent Debian packages.
