This is because I used Freetype 2.1.8 from (sury.org, not Debian's one)
and I had bitmapped fonts enabled. If I disable bitmapped fonts or install
Debian's freetype, all goes smoothly. I need Terminus fonts, so I just
installed Debian's libfreetype6, but I has a critical problem (the one
from sury.org doesn't):
If I enable autohinter, there's a garbage in italic cyrillic verdana (and
some other fonts also) glyphs. This is reported several times ([0],[1]) and
this is because of a patch introduced 2.1.7-2. Please, look at
the screenshots [2], [3]
What should Cyrillic (and probably other) do with that? This ugly thing is already in Sarge,
and maintainer doesn't even feel the itch to fix that. I didn't receive any replies from
maintainer for theese bugs. In debian, who can do something with inactive maintainers? :)
This is definitely not suitable for release!
