Note that there is no equivalent in the FreeType repository to what is installed on Ubuntu, there are a large number of patches that have been applied by Debian and Ubuntu. Some of these changes will change rendering and metrics. You can probably use the directions in third_party/freetype2/README.chromium and modify them for 14.04 instead of 12.04 to get the same source code.
