[Bug 1769132] Re: ubuntu18.04's libfreetype6 2.8.1 has a bug of rendering bitmap font

[Sebastien Bacher]

The new freetype version is in Ubuntu now,
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/2.9.1-3

That doesn't resolve the issue in the stable series though. There has
been only one report of the problem so far and little activity which
suggests the issue is not impacting/annoying lot of users so probably a
low priority one (are bitmap fonts commonly used? the upstream test case
involves changing firefox configs to force the use of a specific fonts
which doesn't sound like something users would usually do). Would still
be nice to get fixed though so maybe a candidate to include with other
fixes if a SRU is done to the LTS
