Christian,

This sounds familiar; I think I too was seeing this at one time.
However I don't see it using gedit on my Ubuntu Gutsy system with freefont release 2006-01-26.

Do you still see this problem?

Unfortunately, the link you provided to your screenshot is broken.
Could you possibly upload it to the bugs page?

Cheers!

Reported in Debian which uses the nearly latest version of the fonts in the CVS:

When upgrading ttf-freefont from version 20051102-2 to 20060501cvs-8, I
found that the top of the lowercase letter "e" in FreeSans (regular) is
distorted (and was not before).

When displayed at 12 point with anti-aliasing turned on, the top curve
of the "e" is thinner than it used to be. When displayed at 11 points,
the top of the "e" is taller than other lowercase letters.

A screenshot of the differences is at:
