No, you need 2.3.10 or newer.

However, I've identified the problem but it's hard to fix quickly.  It is deeply rooted in the used drop-out algorithm (or rather, the improvements I've added), and good rendering of the test case provided by Ian needs an additional constraint.

As soon as time permits I'll post a complete description of the problem on the freetype-devel mailing list.

example3.cpp can be built with freetype-2.3.9?

Attached is a modified version of example3.cpp (And screenshot) that reproduces a test case that results in a stray pixel being rendered, as first reported at http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2010-08/msg00000.html

I believe I'm seeing a regression between 2.3.9 and 2.3.11 when
rendering monochrome text, resulting in a stray pixel being
rendered - See the attached screenshots.  Note that I feel this
is a regression since the 2.3.11 version looks wrong, while the
older 2.3.9 looks correct.  This is on a 64-bit Mandriva 2010.0
system (GCC 4.4.1).  Note that no problems are seen when the
text is rendered using AA.  Also, hinting is disabled.

As mentioned in that mail thread, the problem was eventually tracked down to changes made to Horizontal_Sweep_Drop()...
