In 2.8.1 we improved LCD padding. See http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/tree/docs/CHANGES

Many programs got bitten by that: Firefox, Chrome and anyone who used Skia. They worked around the change. I cannot call that a fix because they continue to guesstimate the bitmap size even today they instead of asking Freetype. We have everything to fix it properly now even for font atlassing in GPU.
