I’ve just been getting to the bottom of a mysterious discrepancy in the metrics of a .otf font between machines running Ubuntu 14.04 and those running Debian (Stable 8.1 and also Unstable).
Turns out Debian Stable is still on version 2.5.2-3 of FreeType, while Unstable has only just upgraded to 2.6-2. And whereas the Ubuntu version of FreeType identifies itself as “2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4”, it exhibits the newer behaviour rather than the older one. This isn’t the first time I’ve come across a problem with Debian FreeType, only to discover that upstream/newer versions don’t have that problem. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
