I compiled freetype 2.1.10 and 2.3.2 by hand with 
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER, I'm sure it was set in gentoo as I 
checked ebuilds, after that I build 2 ft2demos, each for corresponding 
freetype version, it seems to me that ft2demos are linked staticly to 
freetype during build so they should show different view if 2.1.10 and 2.3.2 
would render my fonts in different way but I can't find any difference in how 
my fonts look in 2.1.10 or 2.3.2 ftview, but if I 
LD_PRELOAD=libfreetype.so.2.3.2 {gtk-demo,kcalc} fonts are bigger, maybe it's 
{gtk+,qt} toolkit that is drawing my fonts bigger with newer freetype.
I compiled qt 4.2.3 and I run it with system 2.1.10 freetype, and with 
LD_PRELOAD 2.3.2, fonts are little different (horizontal sizes are different 
with some letters) but sizes are the same.
Maybe I need to recompile gtk+ after upgrading freetype?
