Some kind of (debug) output was needed on FreeType's bug tracker:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?53739#comment5
In case, if it wasn't reproducible:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?53739#comment3
But before this, there was a need for "a PDF (unencrypted) or its embedded
fonts" to "further analyze" this:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?53739#comment2

On the other hand, this PR showed, that previous issue was fixed with using
Ghostscript 9.23 update. The same was for bug #213129 (e.g. bug #213129,
comment #7).
Possible to find some pdf related commits after 9.23 release:
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=a03872ea339d60055fa09dc451ebf37442f467fb
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=pdf
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git&a=search&h=ae5fddd0bd7b06215235090470d3f9297faa24bb&st=commit&s=pdf

There is a Ghostscript bug tracker, for example:
https://bugs.ghostscript.com
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/describecomponents.cgi?product=Ghostscript

Since somebody already used pdffonts program from graphics/poppler-utils port:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?53739#comment1
-8<--
% pkg which -o `which pdffonts`
/usr/local/bin/pdffonts was installed by package graphics/poppler-utils
-->8-

I may recommend to check jpeg output for new test.pdf file with using
"pdftoppm" program:
% pdftoppm -jpeg test.pdf image

If it's ok, this may show that there is a possibility, that this is a
Ghostscript related issue (and/or how it uses newer FreeType library). But
possible to find FreeType related commit, if using "git bisect" (as described
on #comment 5, for example).
Otherwise, also try to check previous Ghostscript version(s), for example, as
described on comment #13 (e.g. DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ghostscript=9 in
/etc/make.conf and rebuild/reinstall Ghostscript related ports).
