--- Comment #7 from Peter Bieringer pb@bieringer.de --- Before receiving your ultimative hint to switch back to previous hinting engine, I tried already playing around with the hinting level -> no real success
Also tried "freetype-freeworld" -> but subpixel rendering by color did also not satisfy me.
on a 100 dpi 1600x1200 LCD (antialiasing=off, hinting=medium), "good eyes" and doing 50% command line work I personally prefer sharp fonts (even in the browser for smaller fonts) - let see whether I'm the only one...
On a 190 dpi display the new rendering engine + antialiasing + medium hinting is looking good.
