Additionally, the workaround using libfreetype from dapper now does not work as expected. Fonts are still better with it, but are a bit bolder than in other apps (I guess medium instead of strong hinting, which is default on my machine). In the changelog is no specific hint what exactly was changed. Did you apply the patch, Bernd Schubert proposed in debian-bug-report?
