No, the second stem is exactly positioned on the a pixel row.
I don't see anything problematic.

This is not a bug.

In the 2.37 pic, look at the highlighted word.

For the 2.39 pic, look at the second 'f' in each appearance of the word 'different'. It would seem that the second 'f' is not subpixeled.

Nice images. However, I'm unable to see a problem wih the
2.3.9 image. Where shall I look at?

Note that even if there is a problem I can't do much here.
There are many layers between FreeType and the result you
see on the screen. In particular, I need the parameters used
to call FreeType, and which an end user can't find. It may be
better to contact the application's maintainer for assistance
which then can contact the maintainer of the underlying graphics
engine, and so on.

If you want to test FreeType directly, please use programs
like `ftview' or `ftdiff' of the ft2demos bundle.

Freetype seems to render double letters in a strange, inconsistent way.
