Still, it's most likely related to libfreetype6; that upgrade caused a
visible change in font rendering here as well, though thankfully not
nearly as bad as it seems for you.
The X font packages you upgraded that day only apply to legacy server
side font rendering and aren't involved in client side font rendering as
used by modern desktop environments.
