Great catch Michael, thank you. I indeed had messed the Fonts.pm file
up. I made one change directly in the source file some time ago for the
fonts to render polish accented letters better on VFD:
Code:
--------------------
my %font2TTF = (
# The standard size - .1 is top line, .2 is bottom.
'standard.1' => {
# 'FTFontSize' => 9, # Code2000: max ascender 14, max descender 4
'FTFontSize' => 7, # Code2000: max ascender 14, max descender 4
'FTBaseline' => 8,
},
'standard.2' => {
# 'FTFontSize' => 14, # Code2000: max ascender 19, max descender 6
'FTFontSize' => 16, # Code2000: max ascender 19, max descender 6
'FTBaseline' => 28,
},
--------------------
my fault was that i just overwrote Fonts.pm file after upgrade and did
not check if it's changed...
I'm sorry that I bothered you with this. I guess I should remove the
topic afterwards because it might not be relevant to anyone else.
However.... a series of the following messages has logged now (removed
duplicates):
Code:

--------------------
they are pointing to polish letters: Ś ę ą respectively
(actually some of the characters problematic for VFD display to be fully
rendered)

--------------------
and basically all accented letters (except ó and Ó) on VFD displays are
replaced by their non-accented latin counterparts.
So probably this Font::FreeType is missing from the updated perl version
and I need to add it manually
