freetype2: updated to 2.9.1
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.9 and 2.9.1
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Type 1 fonts containing flex features were not rendered
correctly (bug introduced in version 2.9).
- CVE-2018-6942: Older FreeType versions can crash with certain
malformed variation fonts.
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-6942
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- Bug fix: Multiple calls to `FT_Get_MM_Var' returned garbage.
- The base extensions `ftlcdfil' and `ftfntfmt' are now part of
the base module (and thus no longer configurable in file
`modules.cfg').
- Emboldening of bitmaps didn't work correctly sometimes, showing
various artifacts (bug introduced in version 2.8.1).
- Use of the `freetype-config' script to get compilation and
linking options is deprecated since it doesn't support
cross-compiling, among other deficiencies. Instead, you should
use the `pkg-config' interface.
The `configure' script no longer installs `freetype-config' by
default. For backwards compatibility, a new configure option
`--enable-freetype-config' is provided that reverts this
decision.
- The auto-hinter script ranges have been updated for Unicode 11.
No support for new scripts have been added, however, with the
exception of Georgian Mtavruli.
- Support for cmake has been improved.
- The next release will remove support for Position Independent
Code as needed by systems that prohibit automatic address
fixups, such as BREW. [Compilation with modern compilers that
use flags like `-fPIC' or `-fPIE' is not affected.]
