Reading the redhat bug description I see that you are not using the TT hinter.

With the autohinter I fear this problem is unavoidable.  It probably has to
be handled on a level higher than FreeType: If you pass a font to the library,
the autohinter simply doesn't know that the digits 0-9 are intended to have the
same width.  As you certainly aware there are fonts containing `old digits'
which intentionally have different widths.

I can imagine that there is an option to `fontconfig' which forces the
same width to all digits if the autohinter is used (probably using the average
value of all digit widths).
