This has been merged a few days ago, and I've just merged
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests/363
into 'master', too – this MR greatly reduces the number of distortions
caused by diacritics directly attached to the base glyph (like
character 'ę').
Please test these changes and report if the rendering becomes worse!

PS: You might experience some slowdown at loading fonts that support
many (Latin-like) scripts. Reducing the startup time will be
implemented soon, doing lazy evaluation of scripts.
