I think you should probably downgrade to 2.1.10.  See
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/freetype-
2.2.0.html

The Kiwi bird is very aptly New Zealand's national emblem.
It is a bird which cannot fly.
It only comes out at night.
It has nostrils at the end of its long beak, and
It is always poking its nose into things.

I think you should upgrade to freetype-2.3.3, it has just
been
released with a set of bug fixes, and i thought it fixes
this problem
too.

things easy on me 

htt
p://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/1988

Here's the announcement for 2.3.3, and it does indeed have
some fixes
