Using FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT with FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap basically makes no
sense since this function doesn't influence hinting.  Instead, you
have to call FT_Load_Glyph with FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT to get the
desired effect.  Anyway, it's a bug: I've fixed both documentation and
code in the CVS; FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT now works with
FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap.
