            Bug ID: 3271
           Summary: Freetype 2.7's TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=2 and
                    OpenJDK enabled infinality causes missing text in
                    rendering
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: 3.2.0
          Hardware: x86_64

missing text in Android Studio 2.2.3.0.145.3537739

With Freetype 2.7 and TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=2, compiling icedtea
3.2.0 w/ infinality enabled, results in broken text rendering -- more
specifically, text is missing all over the place. With infinality disabled, the
font rendering is as bad as expected but at least complete.

As far as I understand, the infinality enabled (fontconfig based) rendering
should work just as fine without the infinality patchset to Freetype with
version 2.7 and upwards.

Nevertheless, it would be nice to have this working w/o an infinality patchset
to Freetype as the latter seems to be abandoned and this is a rather crucial
enhancement since the stock font rendering is still rather bad.
