Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.11.0+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Dear Maintainer,

Upgrading libfreetype6 from 2.10.4+dfsg-1 to 2.11.0+dfsg-1 causes
terminal text to be rendered wider than expected.

Terminal application:  rxvt-unicode 9.26-2
Font configuration (~/.Xdefaults line): URxvt*font: xft:Lucida
Console:pixelsize=16:antialias=true:hinting=true

Screenshot of text with 2.10.4+dfsg-1: https://i.imgur.com/GDvjsUu.png

As can be seen on the screenshots, there is an extra pixel of
whitespace between every text letter, which was not there before.

A temporary workaround in the form of downgrading and pinning the
libfreetype6 package fixed this.
