Description:

By upgrading freetype2 to 2.7-2, environment variables that should affect it are ignored.

For example, I have attached a screenshot of a couple of browser tabs with "broken" fonts, which appear fine after downgrading to 2.6.5.
In this case 2.7 is ignoring my:
export FT2_SUBPIXEL_HINTING=0 # freetype2

In the Arch forums, others have reported issues with FREETYPE_PROPERTIES also: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1653819


Additional info:
* package version(s) - 2.7-2
