FYI - I was able to confirm that my working 703 image continues to show the issue (Exercism+Mirage seem to cause it - but I suspect it’s Mirage rendering thumbnails in multiple threads that stresses things).

Guille has come up with a filein that has some more aggressive mutex code (from my quick glance), so I am running with that to see if I can empirically show it helps.

Hi tim

I think that this is better to create a new issue.

No problem - it’s a bit early to tell if it’s the same as before  - my sense is that it’s slightly improved. I had that 7.0.3 image in light use for 3-4 hours before I noticed it. In 7.0.2 it would happen within 5-20 mins.

I deliberately loaded Mirage as I recalled it was the catalyst before, and I think this might still be the case - but I’ll continue to use this setup to give more details.

Do we re-open the previous issue and our feedback there?

I am afraid we will need to give more love to it.
We need a proper solution, hacking it is not working. We will have to refactor implementation and modify the users.
It is not that we are lazy (that we are) but also it is ugly and full of magic numbers. 

But we will win, we must win! 

Thanks again for the report!

Thanks a lot, founding the issue is important.
For sure I missed some other users of freetype doing the same!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but 7.0.3 on OSX still has the font glyph issue (see how my menus have started to go) - saving my image has fixed it (for now). I do have Mirage loaded in my image ( the latest version, and I was showing you guys how that seems to stress it a bit more).
