Bug#350113: libxft2: "FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden" disappeared since version 2.1.7-1, apps depends on this!
Package: libxft2
Version: 2.1.8.2-2
Severity: important
It looks like the symbol "FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden" disappeared from the library since
version 2.1.7-1. This causes various programs (such as mozilla-thunderbird) to
crash with an error message when this thing is needed.
Also, when I compile source code I get this:
$ g++ program.c
/usr/bin/../lib/libXft.so.2: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Reverting libXft2 to version 2.1.7-1 fixes the compile problem for me.
