Ok. So far Firefox is ahead of the curve in fixing Skia
API-non-compliant interface with FreeType (because they were
forewarned).. Here is some references:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1400721
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1393467
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/detail?id=6663

These are really quick patches rather than fixes. Does QtWebEngine use
Skia by chance?
