At 120dpi, and font size 10, I observe the problem noted in the attached screenshot with Bitstream Vera Sans Bold. The weight of glyphs with diagonal straight lines is much lighter than other glyphs. I'm using Debian sid, libfreetype6 2.1.3-9. Fontconfig is set to use "best shapes" thanks -- Edd Dumbill
