While I can reproduce the issue in a Linux Mint 18 VM, I can't on Windows. I know that Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18.x ship a freetype version (2.6.3) which has some problems. It would be worth doing a test on a distro which ships freetype 2.6.5 at least. |

off-topic: I really wish we had a way for testers to upload a list of installed libs for us to cross-reference that they could find in their 'About' page. (0012499) |

Hi Jean! I installed freetype 2.7. I am doing so: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/09/install-freetype-2-7-ubuntu-16-04/ Still not good. New test: https://youtu.be/fXqgKEnxP-c This Linux Libertine O (otf font) it works well. https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxlibertine/files/linuxlibertine/5.3.0/ (Linux Libertine G is TTF font) freetipe_27.png (7,400 bytes) |

Probably not the problem, but I note: "Linux Libertine G" is a Graphite enabled font. http://numbertext.org/linux/fontfeatures.pdf http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=projects&item_id=graphite_home |

Looks like it may be an harfbuzz issue: https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/pull/357 |
|

Next harfbuzz release will have to be tested. This commit might have fixed this issue: https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/commit/c8dfed8e1ee4ab64b6936f5c8561db0666e37647 |

I've tested harfbuzz 1.4.3 with graphite enabled, much better than harfbuzz 1.4.2, unfortunately still not satisfying. So as a workaround I've disabled harfbuzz graphite shaper for now and platform specific shapers at the same time, so that layout across platforms be the same (harfbuzz versions being equal). |

Thanks Jean. I tested harfbuzz 1.4.3, r21813 (LM18) Works well. |
