Bug ID: 1071556
Summary: Some thin fonts hint very poorly (regression)
Product: Fedora
Version: 20
Component: freetype
Assignee: mkasik(a)redhat.com
Reporter: pierre-bugzilla(a)ossman.eu
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: behdad(a)fedoraproject.org,

Browsing to many sites is now very painful since the upgrade to Fedora 20. The
new version of freetype hints some fonts used on the web in a very poor manner,
causing important stems to be lost.
Example sites:
http://ostgotatrafiken.se/ - Almost all text on the page except for headings
http://www.sony.se/ - Here and there. Look at the "k":s at the top menu.
I can't say these fonts ever hinted very well, but in Fedora 19 they weren't
this bad. Turning off hinting "fixes" the issue.
(Turning of anti-aliasing also produces very good output, so they might be
designed with that in mind.)
