Everything is quite normal on my system (no crashes...).

If none of those fonts generates a crash, I have to presume that
either the X server is not using freetype 2.1.0 for its freetype
font loading module or an X font server is in use.
No, don't have a font server. From my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) LoadModule: "freetype"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so
(II) Module freetype: vendor="X.Org Foundation & the After X-TT Project"
compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 2.1.0
Module class: X.Org Font Renderer
ABI class: X.Org Font Renderer, version 0.4
(II) Loading font FreeType
Does the directory with that fonts.dir file show up in:
xset q
Font Path:
/usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/,...
and is X's .../modules/fonts/libfreetype.so linked against freetype
2.1.0? (It may be a dynamic link w/ the dlloader, but I presume
would have to be a static link using the older elf loader.)

(6.3.8 is 2.1.10 - 6.3.7 is 2.1.9).
I was seeing crashes many months ago and stopped using scalable
server-side fonts as a result. I found that I didn't need any
given that most of the apps I run now use Xft. At that stage
I had a cvs version of freetype installed in /usr/lib. Xorg
must have been linking against that rather than the version
in the xorg tarfile. That is likely distribution-specific
behavior, though.
