Comment(by david.osguthorpe@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 jeremyhu@…]:
 > Oh, I notice the reporter is on SL ... so /usr/X11's freetype is a bit
 older.  2.4.x enabled the TT bytecode hinting.  I think the version in SL
 might not have had the same hinting ... my guess is that this is a
 truetype bug.

 > Try reverting to an older version of truetype (2.3.6ish) to see if the
 issue goes away...

 Thanks will try that
