FontMagick hangs when applying text distortion

[dnesbitt142]

Hello,

After a while FontMagick seems to hang the system (sometimes with a empty error box) after repeatedly changing fonts and distortion styles once the text is converted to a graphic. So far this is triggered on the CI latest builds of FreeGEOS, Basebox and DOSBox-X.

I suspect this issue is also fixed by PR #1187:
#1187

The PR fixes a problem in the TrueType driver that could lead to hangs when repeatedly rendering and transforming text.

PR #1187 has now been merged into master. I tested the reported case again and could no longer reproduce the problem.

Could you please check whether the issue still occurs with today’s new distribution build?

I've had a go last night and it was working fine so far, I will do some further testing today as well.

After further testing it looks like the issue has been resolved with PR #1187, thanks @jirkakunze!
