Hi Werner and others,

I am experimenting with statically linking FreeType in Chromium instead of
dynamically linking against the system version of FreeType. Doing this, I
get unexpected rendering differences:

Even if I statically link against the same numerical version of FreeType as
it is on my Ubuntu 14.04 system, I get a different rasterization result
than when I dynamically link against this system version library. The
screenshot I am attaching shows the before - dynamically linked against
system - vs. after, statically linked against the same version.

I am not sure I am interpreting the image correctly, but it seems that I am
losing hinting somehow.

Are there any modifications for hinting settings in Ubuntu's FreeType
version? Or am I missing building/linkage of certain FreeType modules that
affect this? Or are there different defaults and I should set them more
explicitly?

Thanks for your help,

Dominik
