Make sure you have bitstream-vera's path, type1 and freetype are in your  
XF86Config or xorg.conf. If you do, then maybe you can try to reinstall  
freetype2 with WITHOUT_TTF_BYTECODE_ENABLED option.

It is very smooth here by default without any tweak, but only tweak in  
xorg.conf.

Cheers,
Mezz
