I have the same problem and I have uploaded a few screenshots here:
https://github.com/bohoomil/fontconfig-ultimate/issues/126
I only noticed this problem since I updated to freetype 2.6.2, that’s why I reported the problem there.
Switching back to cairo solved the font rendering for me completely.
Downgrading to freetype 2.6.1 solved some of my problem but not all, so this is also definitely related to the freetype version.

Just checked with the newest nightly, which has bug 1082598, and this is still an issue.

Yeah.. I think right now that simply isn't a supported configuration. There's more bugs than just that when using content skia. I think these days it actually crashes. Lee is doing the work to make Skia content work so making sure he's CC'ed.

Possibly a dup of bug 1265615 where autohinting settings are not consistent between Cairo and Skia, leading to disagreements between the metrics and rendering code, causing some glyphs to be cropped.
