See https://codereview.qt-project.org/124643.

That's supposed to fix the issue, but reviewers found problems with it. I don't 
know enough about OS X so the change was left in limbo.

According to

  https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6

"Optional support for using FreeType on Mac OS X" is now available.

Thanks, I'll try to test it tomorrow. As I mentioned on the ticket it may be 
the 
fix wasn't helping because configure can't find either freetype2.pc or freetype-
config in the non-standard /opt/X11 .

So, does this mean that font rendering can use Freetype instead of CoreText 
now, 
and thus potentially benefit from the rendering quality provided by the 
Infinality patches (as well as better support for less common font weights)?
