The first image looks like it's coming from either an embedded bitmap or from native TrueType hinting. The second looks like it's rasterized from the outline.
Either way, it's not a matter of FreeType itself but of how it's used. FreeType CAN render native TrueType hinting and/or embedded bitmaps but it has modes where it ignores those. The operating system or app chooses which mode it uses.
