My tests with ftview show nothing special; everything looks OK.

Note that the font uses an uncommon unitsPerEm value (4096); I suspect that libass doesn't handle this correctly.

Since I'm quite sure that this isn't a FreeType problem, I'm closing the bug as invalid. If you disagree I need some code which I can compile and debug on my GNU/Linux box which exhibits the problem.

The attached sample with the "28 Days Later.ttf" font, renders incorrectly. Instead of normal size, the result is extremely tiny. On Windows GDI, the result with this font is normal.

I've only tested freetype-2.4.12 & freetype-2.5.0.1 cross-compiled with MinGW-w64 + GCC 4.8.1 for Windows along with the latest Libass GIT. I've not tested this on *nix natively.

I originally reported this to Libass, but they are suspecting this is a Freetype issue.
