Hi all

I've had some more complaints about the effects of the font lib update 
from people using LE2005 and mozilla firefox and thunderbird. These 
programs seem to be the strongest affected by rendering changes (as far 
as I'm aware). Apparently the letter m tends to lose the last leg and 
the bold fonts are bolder and thus less readable (hole filling).

I'm reasonably certain that this freetype update is related to this 
problem, but I'd like an external confirmation or denial if possible...

Also I'm considering updating all the PC's running LE2005, but I haven't 
figured out yet to what, considering 2006.0 only has about 6 months 
desktop support yet.

Cheers

Simon
