I tried libreoffice 3.5.4.2 with libfreetype 2.4.8-1 and 2.4.9-1.1
(restarting X after each installation - is there anything else I need
to be doing?) - the problem remains. I tried installing libfreetype
2.4.2-2.1, but it wouldn't install:

libfreetype6:i386 2.4.2-2.1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with
libfreetype6 which has multiple installed instances 2.4.2-2.1

I assume this has something to do with the earlier versions not being
multi-arch compatible, or something like that.

Is there any particular version of freetype I should try?

According to /var/log/aptitude, the only recent changes to freetype
were:

[UPGRADE] libfreetype6:amd64 2.4.9-1.1 -> 2.4.9-1.1+deb7u1
[UPGRADE] libfreetype6:i386 2.4.9-1.1 -> 2.4.9-1.1+deb7u1
