Thanks for your help. This has fixed #233255 for me.

I put the following line into /etc/apt/sources
deb http://www.sury.org/debian/ ./

and then upgraded to your packaged version of 2.1.8 using
apt-get install libfreetype6=2.1.8-0.sury.org.1

I can now view 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/german/l2tabu/l2tabu.pdf
fine in gpdf.

Thanks again

Stewart
