Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2009-05-18 12:07:37 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-05-20 21:00:17 UTC 
Can you confirm that this only happens with ftstring, and that the fonts work fine in real applications?
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-05-20 21:51:07 UTC 
I believe this bug doesn't affect any of our applications.  I'm inclined to either WONTFIX it or postpone it.

Bug exists in upstream also.
Comment 6 Lawrence Lim 2009-05-21 04:18:59 UTC 
If no-one else disagree, I think we should close as WONTFIX and do further testing in Fedora.
Comment 7 Miya Chen 2009-05-25 05:17:27 UTC 
Close it as WONTFIX.
