--- Comment #18 from Nikolaus Waxweiler madigens@gmail.com --- I am part of the "correct shapes" camp and helped declare it, but this might be some bool bug somewhere. It was never my intention to make existing functionality unreachable. Your second paragraph is unfortunately true and has been so even before the changes in FreeType :/
Actually, it may be better to file an issue over at https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype instead of writing a mail.
