Bug Description

We should merge freetype 2.8.1 from Debian Testing.

freetype (2.8.1-0.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * New upstream release (Closes: #876132)
    - Refresh debian/patches-ft2demos/compiler_hardening_fixes.patch,
      partially fixed upstream
    - debian/libfreetype6.symbols: Add newly export symbol

However, there is a regression in Electron apps. It looks like we'll need to wait for Electron 1.9 for the regression to be fixed.

Electron backported the fix to Electron 1.7.10 (1.7.11 is current stable).

Therefore I'm closing this bug. Note that freetype 2.8.1 is stuck in bionic-proposed because of a regression in libfont-freetype-perl's autopkgtests.
