Packaged files demonstrating problem

This bug was originally posted to the FreeType project bug report (
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?33288 )

Attached is a test application (main.cpp) that demonstrates the problem. 

It tries to render a "2". But the middle curve is reversed when using:
FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL, FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL

See attached text file: freetest.txt (unix line feeds )
freetest_crlf.txt (win32 line feeds )

(See example: http://esoteric.clanlib.org/~rombust/sub_on.png )

[tested with DejaVuSans 2.32] 

I'm quite sure this is a bug in the font itself. 

If you debug glyph `two' with different xres and yres, you can see many
artefacts. For example, at (x-ppem,y-ppem) = (50,44), the diagonal stroke gets
distorted to the right, and at (54,44), the spike to the left is eight times
larger than at (55,44), which is what your original settings are equivalent.

I've attached images which demonstrate it.
