I merged the changes into master for accented characters, I was not
aware of this bug report at the time. I have assigned the bug to
myself and marked it as resolved. I then realized that the drop shadow
patch has not been merged, and so reopened the bug. I will try to make
some time to check out the patch and get it merged if it looks good on
all platforms.

I am not as familiar with the drop shadow code, but am the one who has
spent the most time working with FreeType classes in VTK recently. I
would like to get this into the 5.8 release if it looks OK, and can
confirm the accented characters patch is already in and will be in the
next release.
