I have sent to PR[1] to add WITH_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER define, because I 
rather to have the bytecode interpreter enable now.. After using it with 
disable for a while, I get headache and many bold fonts look awful. I 
switched back to bytecode interpreter enable and the headache is starting 
to go away..
