RE: [ft] Oversized "O"

[Turner, David]

Hello,

from your description, it looks like a problem with the FreeType
library installed on your system. Could you tell us which version
of Ubuntu you're using, and the name of the FreeType libraries in
the /usr/lib directory, i.e. what is the output of "ls /usr/lib/libfreetype*"
on your machine.

Regards,

- David Turner
