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

[Mingye Wang]

Upstream HEAD git log with 'bitmap':
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/log/?qt=grep&q=bitmap&showmsg=1

The two 2015-05-27 commits, and the 2014-08-20 one look interesting.
I'm not sure if it's worth to try some extra cherry-picking though. Backporting is hard it seems.

By the way, upstream tagged 2.11.95 77 mins ago:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/tree/README?id=13087e3
