2.1.4 of course is 4 patchlevels earlier providing several opportunities
for breaking ABI compatibility.

Just for curiostiy: Could you please build firefox against freetype 2.1.8
and see if the problem still happens?
The freetype folks keep breaking their ABI between versions. And that
often happens in a not immediately obvious way.
