Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.9.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

With FreeType 2.9 to 2.10.1 (inclusive) and viewing the Oswald font
[0] in Chromium 76 or later (or just in ftview from the freetype-demos
package) the glyph metrics do not scale with the text size.

Issue was tracked upstream [1] and fixed [2] post 2.10.1 in response
to Chromium bug 981443 [3]. This turned out to be an issue in FreeType
which caused advance widths not to be scaled in specific cases. It
would be greatly appreciated if the fix [2] would be applied to the
2.9.1-3 (and potentially any 2.10.1 package).

Note that this is a separate issue from 929982 [4] which also affects
Oswald but affects FreeType 2.6.2 to 2.6.5 (inclusive).
