Whether the x-height is one pixel too large or not depends on the used
dpi value.  For example, if I use 96dpi (as with Windows), all sizes
appear just fine.  I get the impression that it is not a FreeType
problem but that the font has been optimized for 96dpi (this is, it
contains special bytecode for this particular resolution) but not for
72dpi or other resolutions.
