This is a dependency of libremarkable. Though I also maintain that as well.

I think the migration to a newer font drawing lib was discussed a while ago already by @bkirwi if I'm not mistaken.

So we might use that as an opportunity to transition to a newer lib. Either the successor by the same author, ab_glyph, or whatever was deemed better back then.

This is not a strict security issue. Maybe a performance one. So it's not really not a prio and not directly affecting chesssmarkable. Closing this for now.
