What fixed it for me was to set font.FreeType2.unhinted to false. The 
problem is that freetype2 is built with hinting bytecode interpreter 
turned on. I think 'autohinting' is what freetype does when the freetype 
doesn't have the hinting interpreter turned on; instead it guesses. So 
leave autohinting as it was, and set unhinted to false.
