Electron bug #4513 is fixed, and it's not a FreeType issue.

In relation to Electron GitHub issue #4513 it's been observed by a participants of that issue that under Arch Linux FreeType 2.6.3 breaks rendering process of Electron and Electron-based apps whenever Font Awesome is used in the content rendered, resulting in empty white screen in place of said content.

This can be fixed (for now) by downgrading back to FreeType 2.6.2, indicating that the 2.6.3 release causes system-wide breakage with this software.

Just ensuring this is being accounted for - thanks.
