If we want it to be the default for 23.1, and given that it works now
and is merged into the trunk, I see no reason not to make it the default
now, so that bugs get found and fixed earlier rather than later.

Any objection to making the "--enable-font-backend" the default?

PS: For what it's worth, I have no idea if my problem appears with the "old
font backend" as well or not.  And if nobody wants to fix it there,
I see no reason to look into it.
