Hi - I just noticed that the font antialiasing seems to have stopped
working for Japanese fonts. Admittedly, I haven't been using japanese on
rawhide for about 3 weeks, but I have no clue what's going wrong.
When i run LANG=ja_JP gedit i get nasty non-antialiased text, which used
to not happen. Glancing at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, I see some comment
about disabling antialiasing for korean, japanese and chinese fonts, yet
when I re-enable (change a false to a true) it via that xml file,
nothing changes.
See:

It's a fontconfig bug, but hard to fix without updating to devel
code, so I've worked around it for the fonts we ship.
The package with the fix had been sitting around for a month because
of some problems I encountered before with Perl include paths
and the documentation; I've thrown it into the build system again and
hopefully it will build this time.
