Hello tech@
I'm not sure if it's bad form to crosspost this from bugs@ to
tech@ or not, but I have a patch that fixes a font rendering issue
with the new FreeType 2.8.1 update that went in last December.
The beginning of the thread can be found at the following link.
It also includes a screenshot (linked at the very bottom of the
page) of how it manifests in an xterm. FWIW, I also see the same
rendering issue in Firefox, so it's not just limited to the console:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=151835980313045&w=2
I managed to bisect things, and found that this one-line diff
fixes the issue for me. It's a reversion back to the line of code
that was present in FreeType 2.8.0.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information or
test any patches. Now that OpenBSD has entered -beta status, I'd
like to do whatever I can to help resolve this before -release is
tagged if at all possible.
Thank you.
