umlaut broken

Red Hat seems to have changed from having Luxi Mono as the
default
monospace font to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. As I am a
Swedish user I
noticed the misrendering seen in the included file.

The application in the image is OpenOffice.org write which
seems to use
greyscale anti-aliasing. The same effect can be seen with
GTK+
applications, where I use subpixel anti-aliasing.

I have no idea which hinter is being used.

Only o-umlaut seem to suffer from the problem (at 10 pt at
least).

My system is Fedora Rawhide.

freetype-2.2.1-3
libXft-2.1.10-1.1
fontconfig-2.3.95-6

There's a patch to fix this bug in freetype, it's already
in freetype's CVS.
See http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/fr

Thanks. I guess I'll have to wait for these changes to
trickle down to
rawhide.

Can you please file a bug with Fedora and list such patches,
so I can
push them in Fedora's fontconfig rpm?
