--- Comment #7 from Pierre Ossman <[email protected]> ---
Aha! I think I found the missing detail to test this. You need to enable
subpixel hinting as well. Apparently I disabled that somewhere along the line
of finding a workaround for this issue.

So:

 * Forced autohinter for Cantarell
 * Full hinting
 * Subpixel hinting

Then compare Fedora 28 and freetype-2.7.1-10.fc26. You'll see sharp stems with
the 2.7.1, and fuzzy ones with 2.8.

You can test this directly on your Fedora 28 machine. Just download the old RPM
here:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1045246

Unpack it using rpm2cpio, and then point at it using LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then you
can easily compare then new and old stuff.
