+Subject: [PATCH 447/783] REG: Fix unwanted cache flush in Freetype engine
+
+The Freetype cache was almost completely disabled by
+134c6db8587a8ce156d4fa31ffa62605821851b2 because after that
+change, the lockedAlphaMapForGlyph() function would no longer
+cut off early for empty glyphs like spaces, but rather go
+through all alpha map functions before it realized that there
+was nothing to render. This would in turn invalidate the cache
+for every empty glyph, causing all glyphs to be rerendered for
+every isolated word.
+
+This change adds back a cut off. This is only needed in the
+lockedAlphaMapForGlyph() function, since the superclass implementation
+of the other alpha map functions already contains a cut off for
+width/height == 0.
+
+[ChangeLog][Qt Gui][Text] Fixed a performance regression in Freetype
+engine that was introduced in Qt 5.5.
