This important update brings significant font improvement through the integration of the Infinality freetype enhancement patches.

Additionally, VLC is now a default package in response to the demand shown in the Fuduntu Defaults and Direction survey.

Infinality alters Freetype's Truetype interpreter algorithm to perform hinting in the y direction, this improves the visual result at smaller resolutions. With the integration directly in the core freetype binary and associated libraries, the change is visible in non GTK software including VirtualBox, and WINE.
