Description:
This update for freetype2 fixes the following issues:
Update to 2.13.2:
- Some fields in the
FT_Outlinestructure have been changed from signed to unsigned type, which better reflects the actual usage. It is also an additional means to protect against malformed input. - Rare double-free crashes in the cache subsystem have been fixed.
- Excessive stack allocation in the autohinter has been fixed.
- The B/W rasterizer has received a major upkeep that results in large performance improvements. The rendering speed has increased and even doubled for very complex glyphs.
