Title:
  freetype render issues with "2" and "s"

Status in “freetype” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “freetype” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libfreetype6

  Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  Release:	8.10

  libfreetype6:
    Installed: 2.3.7-2ubuntu1
    Candidate: 2.3.7-2ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 2.3.7-2ubuntu1 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  The '2' and the 's' renders weird... if you follow the ClanLib install
  it works like expected... see screen shot left is original Ubuntu
  freetype... right is fresh freetype. Btw to test I used ClanLib 0.9
  SVN 2263 and the Font example from the Example folder.

  Quote from http://clanlib.org/docs/clanlib-0.9.0/overview/install-linux-gcc.html :
  The standard freetype 2.3.7 package that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) has very poor quality. It is recommended to reinstall the package from the source code as follows: 
  	(from: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/ )
  	tar -xvzf freetype-2.3.7.tar.gz
  	cd freetype-2.3.7
  	./configure --prefix=/usr
  	make
  	sudo make install

  This fix the issues!!! And it makes the overall look much nicer...
