Tags: upstream, wontfix Hi. (I'm the original author of the FreeType backend in X.Org.)
This bug was introduced in revision 1.32 of ftfuncs.c[1] in XFree86 CVS[2] on 19 October 2003 by David Dawes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. This commit was made against my opinion (as expressed on the internal XFree86 mailing list), and was one of the reasons why I resigned from XFree86. The current version of ftfuncs.c in X.Org was branched from XFree86, unfortunately after the afore-mentioned commit. I believe that there is currently nobody who understands the mess that has been made out of my formerly relatively clean code (to the extent that anything relating to core fonts can be clean). If you wish to work on the FreeType backend, I encourage you to study commit 1.32 and undo the mess. For now, I'm marking this report as wontfix and CC-ing upstream.
