Hi Sangu,

the difference you see is the difference between old Freetype CFF engine and
the new Adobe CFF engine (otf fonts). The switch happened in 2.4.12. You can
find related posts here:

http://blogs.adobe.com/typblography/2013/05/adobe-contributes-cff-rasteri...
http://google-opensource.blogspot.cz/2013/05/got-cff.html

> From my POV this is not a bug. 
Regards

Marek

The rendering of Cantarell is noticeably fuzzy,
and worse in thunderbird for example has different heights
for bold and non bold items, resulting in text jumping around
as you navigate over emails (changing them from unread to read).

This is a bug IMHO and should be fixed in the CFF engine
or at least moved to gnome, where a different default font should be chosen.
