Freetype version
177+
----------------
178+
179+
Due to subtle differences in the font rendering under different
180+
version of freetype some care must be taken when generating the
181+
baseline images. Currently (early 2015), almost all of the images
182+
were generated using ``freetype 2.5.3-21`` on Fedora 21 and only the
183+
fonts that ship with ``matplotlib`` (regenerated in PR #4031 / commit
184+
005cfde02751d274f2ab8016eddd61c3b3828446) and travis is using
185+
``freetype 2.4.8`` on ubuntu.
