some tricky fonts need hinting to render correctly bug cairo backend use
FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING to disable it.

one possible solution is use FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT to replace FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING
to
enable hinting to render these tricky fonts correctly.

freetype has FT_IS_TRICKY macro to detect such font face but not applicable to
CairoFontEngine.cc because some embedded font doesn't carry family_name in font
face strucure for FT to detect. It may require to pass the info from GfxFont.cc
by gftFont->getName() to populate font face faimily_name that FT can identify
it then use the FT_IS_TRICKY macro to decide hinting or not.
