OK, I've just compiled freetype 2.8.1 from the latest source

https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.8.1/

and re-pointed the `libfreetype.so.6` link to a newly built .SO-file. I restarted the system and the hinting started working great. So, apparently only the 2.8.0 version of "freetype" is affected. Unfortunately, this is the version that's going to be shipped with Artful.
