Re: [ft] Font rendering quality

[Dave Arnold]

I was curious about the unusual symptoms.

In this font, hinted vertical stems which are composed of curves are too thin. 
The Windows GDI rasterizer has the same issue with it, so it is probably a font 
problem. The FreeType autohinter does a better job because it ignores the font 
hints. Or you could render with hints disabled.
