I did find a bunch of orphaned files (autohint.conf, no-bitmaps.conf, etc) in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ dated back to Sep 2 last year.

I'll have to do this the long way round now and downgrade xft/freetype and various assorted stuff till I find the one reponsible. Thanks alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
