Hi Freetype changed defaults in 2.7, the truetype interpreter became v40 instead of v35. The new defaults are incomatible in a weird way with some old fonts (notably PragmataPro).
There is upstream-recommended way to "globally" set old interpreted version via environment variable FREETYPE_PROPERTIES, which is not a solution obviously: many processes do not inherit parent environment (sudo, browser renderers run in sandbox, ...) . So fretype is to be patched and recompiled. This is simple on say Ubuntu, make a new .deb, install it. But on NixOS this - flipping one bit in libfreetype.so - means either to recompile all NixOS (too many packages depends on freetype, not only GUI apps, also devtools) or to live with corrupt nixstore. Is there a more elegant solution? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
