Released about a week ago. Note and consider Adobe CFF hinting engine among changes.
Created attachment 348372 [details, diff] freetype.ebuild.patch I patched the ebuild but the infinality patches from 2.4.11 do not apply anymore. This compiles for me with USE="-infinality". Maybe it's helpful for the maintainer.

For convenience also available here: https://github.com/anyc/anyc-overlay/tree/master/media-libs/freetype
Infinality has release a new patch for 2.4.12, so it should work again. So please bring the ebuild into the tree.
I've added the patch in my overlay. I'll update this bug if it works.
Thanks for the ebuild and patch. I'll test and commit as soon as I have time.
