[Bf-committers] iris 2.27 release

[Chris Want]

I've just found out that there was recently added
an 'International Fonts' button under the
'Language & Fonts' user prefs that turns off
the FTGL rendering at runtime (by default it is on).

In light of this, I believe that it would be
better to compile the international support
and let users that don't want the rendering
overhead to turn it off in the user prefs.

Can you test the performance of a build with
this option?
