Perhaps, you still have certain misunderstanding of the impact of this
font hinting issue. To make it clear I have made a couple of screenshots.
I use msttcorefonts.

http://users.tkk.fi/~stas/old_freetype.png

The only difference is that in the second case OO has been started with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/sarge-libfreetype.so.6.3.5

It seems that I will have to keep this old freetype library at hands for
quite some time. 

These are my local fonconfig settings:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file to configure font access -->
<fontconfig>

<!--
  Prefered fonts
-->

        <alias>
                <family>serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Times New Roman</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Verdana</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
                <family>monospace</family>

                        <family>Courier New</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>

        <match target="font">
