** Description changed: + [Impact] + + The current version of openscenegraph in Ubuntu Trusty cannot load + FreeType fonts. This is because the build used its own CMakeModule to + try to find the Freetype libraries, and when it couldn't find the + libraries, this module of the program was excluded from the build. + Therefore, any programs that attempt to use FreeType fonts for their + text will result in the text using something like Courier New (or some + other code-style, serif font). + + [Test Case] + + Use any program that uses openscenegraph and attempts to load a FreeType + font. Flightgear is one example; in the case of this program, an error + message is displayed saying that the Liberation fonts couldn't be + loaded, and the text appears to be Courier New-like. + + [Regression Potential] + + Minimum. The actual changes are a change in how the FreeType libraries + are found and some #include changes. The worst case is a build failure. + Programs are expected to continue working and shouldn't need a + recompilation. (Testing yet to occur.) + + [Original Description] + The current package (3.2.0~rc1-4) available for Ubuntu 14.04 is missing support for FreeType due to a build bug that is listed as fixed in 3.2.0~rc1-5. This results in very poor quality text in OpenSceneGraph applications that are running on 14.04 (which used to be fine in 12.04). There is a discussion of the bug on the Debian bug tracker (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=743169) for more information. Is it possible to get this fix into 14.04?
