There are two problems.  The one with your backtrace shows that this
particular xorg version uses an internal function of FreeType which
has changed.  I think David T. can answer this better (after returning
from his vacation) since he has already written some patches for main
applications to avoid FreeType internals.

The other problem (reported by James) could be a different bug,
probably in the cmap code of FreeType, and for his particular problem
I would like to see a backtrace.
