Worse font rendering in pango 1.44
Sorry for not accurate title of issue, I am not font expert.
Arch Linux. After pango update from 1:1.43.0-2
pkg ver to 1:1.44-1
font rendering is worse. Please compare screenshots. Normally I use my own patched freetype2 with subpixel rendering, enabled ClearType and custom filtering values but these screenshots are created with plain freetype2 package from Arch repo and without my own fontconfig settings (default font rendering values coming from GNOME).
Font: Cantarell 10
pango pkg ver 1:1.43.0-2

Please compare screenshots in full size.
Letter spacing is smaller than previously. Also, some letters jumped in wrong direction — for example compare "o" in "core_perl" (first file in Nautilus) or "b" in "Ulubione" in GTK's places sidebar.
