Well, what exactly do you mean ? Different how ?

Well, this display doesn't have anti-aliaising on, and that might improve 
things a bit (it definitely does on Windows for the other fonts I have 
tried). I'll try to get a screenshot with anti-aliaising over the weekend. 
The slants do seem to be a bit thin in many glyphs. Could that be due to 
hints not being used on my display ?
