Hi, this has been fixed upstream in version 2.3.5: | Add support for BGRA glyphs display and scaling https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/blob/libXft-2.3.5/NEWS I've merged the latest 2.3.6 locally and it seems to work fine. Would be great to get that into unstable. Cheers Jochen * Tobias Diedrich <ranma+debianbts@tdiedrich.de> [2020-11-23 23:12]:
