Maybe you used the bytecode interpreter although only the _patented_ bits
of code weren't enabled.
That one will yield BAD results with most TTFs, so Evas will only accept
the _patented_ bytecode interpreter.

See
http://freetype.fis.uniroma2.it/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-ttengine.html

I'm sure that the Evas code is correct :)
