In certain textboxes, fontconfig will render certain strings of letters

Fontconfig doesn't render text.  What you see is caused by older
versions of FreeType not correctly recognize Latin glyphs in the
autohinter.  This was fixed a few months ago (~Nov 08).  Please retry
with latest FreeType.  If that also fails, report this to your distro.
