Hi,
freetype 2.8.1 breaks fonts when using subpixel rendering.
This is already fixed in firefox[1], the same code is also present in
thunderbird and I guess the same patch can be used there.
Could you please have a look at fixing thunderbird?
Regards,
Laurent Bigonville

Hi,
thunderbird has now migrated to testing.
Other broken applications (that are not in the debian archive) are
atom[0] and visual studio[1]
So I propose to close this bug and let the pkg migrate to testing as
there are no ETA of when this will be fixed in these programs.
