>From the CHANGES file in FreeType 2.1.10:
- Boris Letocha fixed a bug in the TrueType interpreter: The
NPUSHW instruction wasn't skipped correctly in IF clauses. Some
fonts like `Helvetica 75 Bold' failed.
- Another serious bug in handling TrueType hints caused many
distortions. It has been introduced in version 2.1.8, and it is
highly recommended to upgrade.
I think this causes the problems you see.
