I think I made a mistake, last night I checked only two applications and
I didn't notice that bytecode interpreter is enabled but doesn't work
anymore. I removed comments from 

#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER

in include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, then I launched autogen.sh and
'configure --prefix=/usr'. 'make devel' gives only "make: Nothing to be
done for `devel'.", 'make' compiles, 'make install' copy files in /usr.

Now this is what I get when I open a web page in Arial:

and this is rendering of Lucida Console:

With ft2view I can see this:

and these are screenshots of what I see with my previous freetype
version:

Menu fonts (Luxi Sans) are ok because I enable auto-hinting for all
fonts but a few ones (between them arial and lucida console) defined
in /etc/fonts/local.conf.
If this can help, I'm using xorg-x11 6.8.2 with cvs dri radeon drivers
on a radeon 7500 (chipset rv200).
