BTW it's not a bug - it's feature:
(from changelog of fretype6):
freetype (2.1.2-8) unstable; urgency=low
* CVS updates as of 2002-10-07
* Applied David Chester's ft-slight patch. Thanks to Roger So for the
suggestion. (Closes: Bug#163900)
* Turned off the bytecode interpreter.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
One have to recompile freetype with "use_bytecode = yes" in rules to gain
good AA.
