[Bug 1203012] [NEW] upgrade to FreeType 2.5

[Sandra Karuving]

Public bug reported:

With release 2.5 there are much improvements. for the normal user (eyes)
we get a MUCH better font renderin with  almost all fonts and
application. I think thats because of the new Adobe's CFF module.

so please upgrade to the Version 2.5.x with enabled and active Adobe's CFF. You can test it with ppa:
