If it was the article that mentioned the freetype config option: 
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER, this is off in RH's freetype. I
got the src.rpm and checked it. Not sure this is even necessary with
Xft2 since all my fonts look pretty good :) Has anybody tried this? 

In ./include/freetype/config/ftoption.h:

#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER

I beleive it enables hinting for TT fonts.
