[ft] FreeSerifBoldItalic and "zj"

[Anders Wallin]

Hi list,

I'm using font geometry from libfreetype6 (2.4.4-2ubuntu1.1) to test
an application I am writing.
My application takes only non-intersecting lines or curves as input.

I've run into a problem with FreeSerifBoldItalic and "zj". In my
program this produces overlapping characters. I've tried it with
Inkscape, LibreOffice, and GIMP also. LibreOffice produces overlapping
characters while Inkscape and GIMP do not:

Here is the code I am using to extract geometry from freetype:

Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to avoid it?

thanks,
