Thank you for reporting.
Actually postscript_name was leaked however, it was fixed before
version 2.1.9.

2004-05-15  Werner Lemberg  <address@hidden>

        * src/sfnt/sfobjs.c (sfnt_done_face): Free face->postscript_name.

If you have much troubles with this leak, use FreeType2 newer than 2.1.8.
