+      Updated to FreeType 2.7.1, including a new TrueType engine.
+      The new engine replaces the Infinality engine which was the default in
+      NixOS. The default font rendering settings are now provided by
+      fontconfig-penultimate, replacing fontconfig-ultimate; the new defaults
+      are less invasive and provide rendering that is more consistent with
+      other systems and hopefully with each font designer's intent. Some
+      system-wide configuration has been removed from the Fontconfig NixOS
+      module where user Fontconfig settings are available.
