We've tried upgrading to some version of 2.3.x, but it broke
rasterization of some fonts (i.e. "font used to rasterize correctly,
and now it's more blurry or in more weird shapes than in should be"),
and then there was no time to investigate why, and just left it at
that version.

If I'll find a spare minute, I'll do.
