Probably since 2006:

 freetype  (2.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Enable full bytecode interpreter instead of just the
     "non-patented portions".
   * Use $(CURDIR) instead of $(PWD) to build with sudo. Closes: #367579.

With SDL_ttf and freetype2-demos, yes. I think other apps usually turn
onanti-aliasing which works-around the issue.

Note that Gentoo disables it in binary packages, but enables it in recompiled
packages.

I just Tried on gNewSense (Ubuntu) LiveCD and it shows for me.

Procedure:
- 'ftview 16 liberation-fonts-1.04/LiverationSans-Regular.ttf'
- Type 'a'
