Source: freetype Version: 2.6.3-3+b1 Severity: wishlist Hi there,
last week, the freetype project has seen a new upstream release 2.7. Among the changes are: "A new subpixel hinting mode has been contributed by Nikolaus Waxweiler, which is now the default rendering mode for TrueType fonts." This will mean a vast rendering improvement for many fonts! I know that you are rather conservative with user-visible changes, but maybe it would be possible to package the new releae for experimental first (or allow me to upload it as an NMU there)?
