[Bug 1566651] Re: Blurry fonts after update to fontconfig 2.11.1-0ubuntu9

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for the report.

Before the upload of fontconfig 2.11.1-0ubuntu9 we also considered to
instead upgrade to the upstream version 2.11.94. It's available in this
PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/fontconfig-test2

Can you please test that fontconfig version, and let us know whether the
problem goes away.
