And then if you actually use a proper FreeType build from upstream's sources, it magically works without a hitch... So, yeah, not surprised they didn't bother to implement it in a saner way, and just killed it outright, because a wide release as is would be a mess to support.

I've used alt font on k3 for years and have tried dozens of fonts. The worst that ever happened was I couldn't open a book. I never got a brick or failure to boot to library screen.
