Thanks for the fix.  However, there seems to be yet some more errors.
Here is an example:

    http://foka.homelinux.net/~foka/freetype/mozilla-freetype-2.1.3-9.png
    http://foka.homelinux.net/~foka/freetype/mozilla-freetype-2.1.4rc2.png

The "Disclaimer" text looks distorted, and for other text like
"Introduction", the "ro", "du" became too close, and the "o" looks
distorted, etc.

Another problem found in rc1 (not sure if still in rc2?) is reported by
Debian users.  For example, the "UR" in "URL" got stuck together, and
"w" is distorted:

And another bug report from rc1 (maybe fixed or maybe not in rc2?):

That's all for now.  Thanks in advance!

Anthony
