Public bug reported:
As stated by the Freetype documentation, I should be able to use
`FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` to control some options such as whether TrueType
fonts are hinted using Hinting Engine v35 or v40, or whether stem
darkening for CFF(i.e. OpenType PostScript Flavor) fonts are enabled. I
think this should work in everything that uses FreeType, but apparently
it doesn't work in Gnome-Terminal. It does work in xterm, and even
xfce4-terminal, which also uses libVTE to provide terminal emulation.
Actual Results:
`FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` doesn't take effect.
Expected Results:
Should work as in xterm or xfce4-terminal.
Additional Information:
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, with gnome-terminal 3.28.1. The correctly working
xfce4-terminal's version is 0.8.7.3.
** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
