Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.3.5-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear all,

I am not sureif this a bug of libfreetype, please reassign if you think
it isn't.

There is a problem with some fonts which include in the font normal
lower case letters and small caps variants. One example is the TeX Gyre
Cursor font available at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/tex-gyre/
PFB: http://www.ctan.org/get/fonts/tex-gyre/fonts/type1/public/tex-gyre/qcrr.pfb
AFM: http://www.ctan.org/get/fonts/tex-gyre/fonts/afm/public/tex-gyre/qcrr.afm

The problem is that the lowercase "i" is shown as a small caps "I".

My guess is that libfreetype is confused due to the glyph names in the
afm file:
the normal lowercase i:
        C 105 ; WX 600 ; N i ; B 92 0 508 610 ;
the smallcaps i:
        C -1 ; WX 600 ; N i.sc ; B 130 0 471 417 ;

All the best

Norbert
