    Description

      <p>There are mainly 2 symptoms:</p>

      <ol>
      <li>Fonts rendering breaks at some time when client is long running (letters are wrong or incomplete)</li>
      <li>Crashes with AccessViolations when calling native freetype dll</li>
      </ol>

      <p>We currently use the TAO wrappers for freetype dlls. Alternatives are: SharpFont wrapper or a complete rework of rendering (like the one inside D2D branch, which bases on DirectWrite).</p>

      <p>First approach is to switch to SharpFont</p>
