Hi,

I've just been bitten by fontconfig's disabling of bitmap fonts.
>From rading bug reports, this is apparently in retaliation for some
sort of bug in freetype, but I see no corresponding bug report in the
bug tracking system. Upon examination of the output of konsole in the
GIMP, the bitmap font seems to be rendered exactly as specified in the
font file.  Perhaps the "problem" is the absence of subpixel hinting
for LCDs in bitmapped fonts? Perhaps the bug has been fixed? All the
complaints about freetype I see are about a year old.

Could you please either:
* Describe what it is you would like from freetype in order to enable
this feature, or
* Enable bitmap fonts by default?

Thanks,
Andrew
