The photo is just about worth a thousand words. letters have odd distortions for konsole. I'm not sure what font I'm using. freetype-2.3.1 looks fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start up X 2.konsole looks funky, but the xterm does not. 3.

Created attachment 113040 [details] Screen grab, the konsole has funky fonts. xterm etc. do not.
I also have this problem, as do several users in the forums http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-546166.html Screenshots: http://666kb.com/i/amj1gs4swusnz7ofs.jpg http://666kb.com/i/amj20dveeaqvvgtx4.jpg Homepage demonstrating the problem in Firefox: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ (this page just happens to use the Luxi Sans font which is affected by the bug)
Not all fonts are affected on my system. for example Luxi ones (font-bh-ttf) are affected while BitStream Vera or Dejavu are not.
(Something is funny with my mail setup, so I just seen this bug by manual query). This is indeed not good, but I can't say I have a clue what the problem is... and I can't seem to reproduce it with any of the fonts I have currently installed. Please try reporting to FreeType upstream, as it doesn't seem to be a Gentoo-specific issue.
Upstream already knows about this problem, it's even on their freetype-2.3.2 release news: http://www.freetype.org/index2.html#release-freetype-2.3.2: Note that this version contains a serious bug in the handling of TrueType instructions which will be fixed soon in the next release. So all we can do is wait for freetype-2.3.3 and probably mask 2.3.2 as in worst case fonts become unreadable and make the system hard to use.
Created attachment 113804 [details, diff] freetype-2.3.2-configure-fix.patch Dequote OS_INLINE in configure.raw to avoid unexpected shell evaluation
Created attachment 113806 [details, diff] freetype-2.3.2-truetype-regressions-fixes.patch Fixes for various truetype rendering regressions. Makes http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ display properly again.
Created attachment 113808 [details, diff] freetype-2.3.2.patch patch for freetype-2.3.2.ebuild to use the attached patches.
Yep, adding these patches worked for me. The konsole looks good, and http://www.guidetojapanese.org/ in particular went from being weirded out like my konsole with 3.2.2 to looking fine with patched 3.2.2.
For the life of me I can't reproduce this.
I've added the truetype patch to freetype-2.3.2-r1. The configure patch is unrelated to this bug. Thanks for the report.
I discorev some serious (I think) bugs. Antialiasing often hides real bevahiuor of things. So, if you look at http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6561/ftbugij9.png there are a LOTS of such symbols. When I try to use FontForge (compiled with appropriate version&flags of freetype) to debug some (U+0x431, for example) symbols, its crashes with "Invalid 2nd order spline in SplineRefigure2" or "NaN value in spline creation" messages. With freetype-2.1.10 debugging and rendering works, but not really much better. Here is more detailed: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/6561/ftbugij9.png green contours with points - new positions after hinting, under windows there are no so strange swap between point#9 and point#10.
