There is a more elegant work-around, and possibly an actual solution. First, the workaround: add a modified FreeType library to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This environment variable should be passed through to every program on NixOS because that is how we handle the impurity of OpenGL drivers. Second, I can probably fix the way PragmataPro renders by applying selective Fontconfig rules. Could you please tell me, what settings are you using in `fonts.fontconfig'? If you have changed any Fontconfig settings like DPI or hinting through your desktop environment, please share that also. Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply change the interpreter from v40 to v35 through Fontconfig rules. However, changing the hinting level for that font only can essentially achieve the same thing.
