Comment 8 for bug 1769132

The new freetype version is in Ubuntu now, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/2.9.1-3

That doesn't resolve the issue in the stable series though. There has been only one report of the problem so far and little activity which suggests the issue is not impacting/annoying lot of users so probably a low priority one (are bitmap fonts commonly used? the upstream test case involves changing firefox configs to force the use of a specific fonts which doesn't sound like something users would usually do). Would still be nice to get fixed though so maybe a candidate to include with other fixes if a SRU is done to the LTS
