[Devel] TrueType font-scaling

[Ole André Vadla Ravnås]

Hi,

I'm running XFree86 4.2.0 and freetype 2.1.2 (compiled with hinting and
the TrueType bytecode interpreter both enabled), using Ximian GNOME 1.4.
I've copied some TrueType-fonts from an MS Windows XP installation, and
they look fine -- well, almost. Please have a look at the pictures on
this page:

What these two pictures show is some arbitrary TrueType-font that I
copied from the MS Windows XP installation -- displayed in size 8 and 9,
respectively. Size 8 looks horrible, 9 and up looks fine.

So, I wonder, is this a bug in freetype?

Thanks in advance,

Ole André
