When enable bytecode_interpreter and   subpixel_rendering, this problem
happens.

Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-03-12 19:45:42 EDT

So, the first shot happens with default rawhide freetype?

Comment 4 sangu 2007-03-12 20:35:15 EDT

Sorry!
First shot uses package with bytecode_interpreter and subpixel_rendring.

Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-03-12 21:18:58 EDT

Ok then.  This is a known regression in freetype 2.3.2.  Upstream knows about it
and is working on a new release.  I'll push it in rawhide when it's out.
