Perhaps I don't understand the reason for the change. I do see I now need an extra step for acceptable fonts. So I'd be happy to see freetype revert to a form not requiring setting the FREETYPE_PROPERTIES variable. If not, an option to determine font weight could accomplish the same, and perhaps even better, result.

Once again FreeType is guilty of being visible. An improvement for you is a bug for me. This will never change. This is the reason why distributions never update FreeType between releases and even more rarely.
