That's good to know - since practically no explanation was given, that one
simply fell through the cracks.
Is there a better explanation available on what this patch actually
does? Preferably with some examples? (For example, what is meant by
scaling applied by Xft - a scaling matrix, some size calculation, or
what? And what does this have to do with emojis only?).
The patch, like any similar patch, has major potential to break things for
a lot of people, so it's unlikely to be applied without a thorough
understanding of what it exactly does, what it solves, and what the
implications are.

So it only affects bitmap fonts? Any specific font that exhibits these
issues?
