Sorry, but your message did not answer my question. What about freetype2-infinality or other packages you may have implied is it that makes you say that they "will compromise the stability..."? TBQH, I don't like the phrasing of that and the smell of FUD around it.
cheers! mar77i
It's not FUD. There have been many issues with 3rd party freetype2 packages; most recently with harfbuzz needing a symbol only available in 2.7.1 with 3rd party packages lagging behind. With harfbuzz broken, many, many things crash, including gdk-pixbuf2, gnome, and KDE.
