Sorry to say but this report is completely useless!

  1. fontconfig is not maintained by us.

  2. You have to find out whether this is a problem with FreeType at
     all.  Just upgrading to the CVS version is not sufficient.

  3. You have to provide a repeatable test case.  I have absolutely no
     ideas which fonts (having which version) are actually in
     `media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std'.  For example, on my SuSE box this
     directory doesn't exist at all.

Please try either the Gentoo or fontconfig bugtracker first.  In case
it is a bug in FreeType I'm quite sure that the maintainer will
contact us in due course.
