--- Comment #69 from Adam Goode adam@spicenitz.org --- Marek: have you considered upgrading F24/F25/F26 to FreeType 2.8 and setting AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS only for those releases?
I'm guessing the risk of regression is too high, though it would probably be safer than attempting cherrypicks.
