Freetype LCD filtering has > never been in a stable release of Cairo; Ubuntu has been patching it in. The removal of filtering API is something in addition to that (i.e., just using the filters that FreeType provides) and Ubuntu doesn’t patch that back in now. What I think is needed to set the filter method on the canvas is cairo_font_options_set_lcd_filter() and that was removed in this commit: commit 5d887ad5dca5af0f8216830d1b04d08a5aba9bee Author: Carl Worth
