[ft] mis-rendered o when a j is near

[Dominic Hopf]

Hi,
according to a hint on a bug report at [1] I was asked to post this
issue here again. The noticed behaviour is indeed a bit weird but I will
try to describe it at my best:

There are several GTK programs I am using (since I'm XFCE user) and some
situations when words like "projects" occur, e.g. when surfing with
Thunar through my $HOME directory which actually includes a directory
called "projects" and a symlink to this called "Projekte". There is also
Geany which has a menu entry "Projects". With settings 96dpi and a 8pt
sans serif font, e.g. DejaVu Sans, the o isn't correctly rendered. This
is best viewable in the screenshots at [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6] (which
shows this also is reproducible with pango-view). The screenshots are
linked from gnome bugzilla because I first assumed this may be a pango
issue, but as Behdad there told me, it is more likely to be a freetype
issue. Settings with 72dpi and 10pt work fine. Also 96dpi and 7pt or 9pt
work fine, it's just the 96dpi vs. 8pt settings.

I'm running Fedora 12 with most current updates. Freetype version is:
freetype-2.3.11-3.fc12.x86_64.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Best Regards,
Dominic
