Source: freetype
Version: 2.8.1-0.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded freetype from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1 today and font rendering in both
thunderbird and discord
took a really steep nosedive.

The Thunderbird issue is already fixed.
Electron 1.9 was fixed and I believe Electron 1.7.10 also includes the
fix, months ago.
There's nothing really to be done in fontconfig or Debian any more so
I'm closing this bug.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
