           Summary: Fixed font 6x13 fails to render in gnome-terminal
                    after latest freetype update
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 21
         Component: freetype

Description of problem:
After upgrading to the latest freetype, my default terminal font "6x13" (an old
fixed X font) will not render, rendering only empty squares in the terminal.

Downgrading only freetype to the older version restores rendering.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype-2.5.3-15.fc21.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
TBH I've no idea how to set this font in gnome-terminal these days; on the face
of it
gsettings set 
org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Profile:/b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9/ font
"6x13"
should do it (and this is what the key is set to on my own system already), but
the preferences don't let you set this directly and I can't get gnome-terminal
to honour changes to that setting.

"emacs -font 6x13" shows similar issues, though: the bulk of the buffer renders
OK, but status line text sporadically fails to render with the new freetype.
