I'm closing this as invalid, since you are barking the wrong tree, so to say. For reporting FreeType rendering bugs you should use one of the FreeType demo programs (ftview and friends) and check whether they can display the font correctly. I've just tried various 2.4.x versions of ftview, and I don't see any problem with Biffo MT version 1.00 (from June 2001).

Please contact the ghostscript people in case the bug persists in ghostscript.

Seems that in ghostscript 9.15 it’s already freetype 2.5.3

When using ghostscript version 9.15 with freetype 2.4.x the (german) umlauts of some OpenType fonts are not rendered. Instead, there is just blank space. When switching freetype off in ghostscript, it works perfectly with the ghostscript internal font rendering.

I experienced this problem with the OpenType font „Biffo MT“, see screenshot attached
