Here's what I'm using for some time now: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/other/freetype2-219.diff I believe the patch from cvs is needed to avoid some vertical displacement of letters. It's discussed here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fonts.freetype.devel/2442 (Freetype's mailing list broke around new year, so their own archive doesn't go this far). It was commited in rev. 1.132 of ttgload.c: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/freetype/freetype2/src/truetype/ttgload.c I can attach the patch to mentioned PR if needed, but could someone confirm about the patch (for convenience available here: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/other/patch-src::truetype::ttgload.c). >> I'll begin with mozilla. > > While Mozilla and friends will probably be the most problematic, be sure > to test ports such as gpdf and ggv.

Regular mozilla and firefox would need the first patch (FreeType 2.1.9 patch #149334) at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234035. NetBSD pkgsrc has this split as patch-ah, patch-ai, patch-aj, patch-ak, patch-al, patch-an and patch-ao. If any of these makes sense, I can try to make more sensible patches to ports and submit them.
