There are still at least one place where "environment.sessionVariables.LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ..." does not replace freetype with a custom-built version: in cgi-scripts run under lighttpd service: RRD rendered with stock freetype-2.7.1 http://i.imgur.com/HVZ5iPa.png RRD rendered with freetype-2.7.1

Unfortunately, $FREETYPE_PROPERTIES is censored by sudo and chrome sandbox (and the bug is WONTFIX in both freetype and chrome) On 4/19/17, Vladimír Čunát wrote: > Just my two cents. > > On 04/19/2017 01:25 PM, Volth wrote: >> There is upstream-recommended way to "globally" set

Better to show: http://imgur.com/a/a5XpN The first image (http://imgur.com/zOyxMh7) is with the default NixOS-17.09 (freetype-2.7.1) settings. Approximately the same is on 17.03 with its defaults. Fonts are blurry, width of cells is wrongly calculated. This could be fixed with fonconfig, and I

[Nix-dev] How to downgrade or patch freetype-2.7 ?
