Yeah, I'm not sure what progress could be made at this point.
The way I see it, the issue was resolved in a new version of libfreetype
(2.8.1). The only thing that is left is to propagate the fix to main Ubuntu
repo.

Oh, totally missed your comment. That confirms it.

Title:
Font hinting appears broken on 17.10 beta
Status in
The title of Konsole definitely doesn't look right, but I'm not sure I
would blame FreeType for that. It could be some KDE or Qt problem.
On my installation, Ubuntu Tweak Tool doesn't allow me to set Window
Font to "Ubuntu Bold 9". It simply switches to "Ubuntu Medium 9" and
makes window titles
That's strange because bold letters of "Courier New" certainly look fine with
freetype 2.8.1.
Do you mind telling me which font you're using?

OK, I've just compiled freetype 2.8.1 from the latest source
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.8.1/
and re-pointed the `libfreetype.so.6` link to a newly built .SO-file. I
restarted the system and the hinting started working great. So,
apparently only the 2.8.0 version
I've just checked 17.04, and it also looks fine. My guess is that
something has changed in "freetype" when it was updated from 2.6.3 to
2.8.0, so I'm setting "freetype" as the package for this bug.
** Package changed: ubuntu => freetype (Ubuntu)
