Dropping as I no longer use this. Feel free to pick up maintenance.

@Chazza Thanks, that fixes it for me too.

@ashka Thanks for reporting. There was indeed a problem with revert_allow_linear_scaling.patch. It was just a wholesale reversion of the upstream commit that introduced the regression. I've replaced it with a better patch from freebsd and the crashes don't happen for me anymore.

mpv 1:0.27.0-6 with libass 0.14.0-1 crashes when revert_allow_linear_scaling.patch is used:

I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the patch or mpv/libass misusing freetype. No crash happens when commenting out the patch in the PKGBUILD. mpv doesn't crash with freetype2 2.9-2 or previous versions of freetype2.
