I don't know how it implemented, I just saw that "rounded" parts of characters 
was broken.

Yes, I know, apologize. It was wx 3.1 and Linux "Print to File" printer.

I did it before my first letter. After my previous build of rev. 5596 I did "bzr 
up" and "make" yesterday, nothing more. Linux version, compiler, wx, etc was not 
changed since i built rev. 5596. That's why I thought it was a bug introduced in 
some of intermediate revision. Today, after removing build directory and 
rebuilding from scratch bug is gone, so now I understand that problem was on my 
side.
