Fix truetype support on Perl Tk none

Description Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2020-07-04 09:53:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

After upgrading to perl-Tk-804.035-1.fc32.x86_64, the Tk widgets stopped honoring the font selection.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

perl-Tk-804.035-1.fc32.x86_64


How reproducible:

Just try to select a font on a widget with:

   my $fontfamily = "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono";
   $font = $topWin->Font(family  => $fontfamily, size => 12);

and use it on a Tk widget.

Reverting to perl-Tk-804.034-8.fc32.x86_64.rpm solves the issue.
Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2020-07-07 07:08:25 UTC 
FreeType support was disabled in perl-Tk, because the tests started to fail because of a new FreeType library of fonts (bug #1803711).
Comment 2 Mauro Carvalho Chehab 2020-11-16 13:09:59 UTC 
Bug is still present on perl-Tk-804.035-4.fc33.x86_64
