He said that the TFT box was using Fedora, correct?  I'm certain
that the bytecode interpreter is disabled on Fedora due to concerns
about Apple's patent and patent claims on it.  It's pretty easy to
rebuild the RPM to turn on the bytecode interpreter if you want;
set a variable at the top of the specfile from 1 to 0 as instructed.
See here, for example:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/freetype/freetype.spec?rev=1.17&view=markup

And here for a discussion of the patent issues:

Note that disabling is the default in FreeType2.
