You need to rebuild the freetype srpm.  Both subpixel rendering and
the bytecode interpreter are patent encumbered and disabled by
default.  The comments in the spec file do explain how you can rebuild
with either of them enabled.

You're on your own in determining whether that is legal in your
location (and/or whether you are concerned about it :).
