Title:
  upgrade to FreeType 2.5

Status in “freetype” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “freetype” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  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:
