[Release notes][1]:

> FreeType 2.9
> 2018-01-08
>
> FreeType version 2.9, the first release of a new ‘minor’ series, is now
> available for download. The main reason for starting a new series is
> Ewald Hew's GSoC contribution of making Adobe's CFF engine handle Type 1
> fonts also, greatly improving the rendering quality of this ancient but
> still important font format.
>
> If you are going to use variation fonts, please update to this version
> since it comes with some important fixes. More information on this and
> other changes can be found here.

> of Type 1 fonts with flex features, which was broken in version 2.9. An
> overview of the remaining changes is given here. All users should
