Some people have understood this issue for a long time. I remember reading Jim Blinn's 
article, "A Ghost in a Snowstorm", at least as far back as 1998:

   To correctly composite two gamma-corrected images, the images should first 
be converted back to linear space, composited, then have gamma correction 
re-applied.

Given that really most software today fails to correctly scale images
with proper gamma, there's no wonder that there are similar problems
with the gamma stuff in the FreeType's CFF module.  We are ahead of
time, it seems...
