That is the xlib backend.  Though the image tells nothing about gaps
I've also experienced it with another program.

Does it mean that the GNUstep's code is changed, or that you changed the

of your own program in accordance with the previous discussions so far?

OK, I will.  To do that, I need to reinstall freetype library so that it
has the symbols FTC_*.  It may sound strange to you, the freetype library
I have has no such symbols and thus failed to compile the art backend.
So I'm afraid it will take one or two days to report the result to you.
