FreeType 2.8 should fix these issues.
So, just to be clear, does that mean font rendering (i.e. specifically various sizes) in the cases reported in this bug will look at same in F27 as it currently does in F26/25/24 etc.?
I just tried rebuilding 2.8 rpm on F26
$ rpm -q freetype freetype-2.8-1.fc26.x86_64 freetype-2.8-1.fc26.i686
I have to change my (monospace regular) font size from 11 to 11.25 (or 11.3) for it to match F26/25/24 font - [I had to do the same change with 2.7.1-3].
The font looks squished vertically with my previous setting of size 11 [as it did with 2.7.1-3]
