Have you tested this fix and found that it is "good"? I did some
testing, but did not have time enough to be as thorough as I'd like.
Does it work reliably for you with your Debian apps?

If so, we could maybe speak nicely to Matthias about patching it into
the 1.1.8 mainstream (it is almost, but not quite, a drop-in replacement
for Fl_fonts_xft.cxx, I think.)

Cheers,
