Will,

This is a good news. Thank you for taking action. My upstream has recently
declared freetype < 1.9 obsolete and dangerous to use with their software, so
I was about to start looking into why we are still at 1.7. If I can help you
with packaging a more recent version I would be happy to do so. Unfortunately
I am not familiar with the CJK fonts, so can't help you there.

Please feel free to contact me privately if you'd like me to do something to
help you.

Best wishes,

Alex.
