freetype2 .. or ... a neverending story

[Nick Hudson]

Ok I had a bit of time to spend on this tonight so I tried to reproduce
the problem.  I did everything you did but recompile X just for the sake
I dont have that much time.  Now I installed ft 2.1.4 and I have to say
in my opinion its the best ft as of yet.  My fonts are much crisper and
sharper than with 2.1.3.  

So I cant reproduce the probelm you can take a look at what it looks
like for me here

I will be gone till tuesday to San Antonio, TX so I cannot troubleshoot
this any further till then.  Maybe then I can help a bit more.  If
someone else has any other ideas please let him know.

oh try this in the build file you will see a patch_it function.  Commit
that out and try to compile freetype without the patch and see if that
fixes things.  You dont need to rebuild X just rebuild pango and maybe
gtk+2 and let me know how it goes.

Thanks

Nick Hudson
