--- Comment #1 from Nikolaus Waxweiler madigens@gmail.com --- From skimming the mentioned bug report, I think the "problems" didn't go anywhere. v1 ships with a different hinting strategy than v2. v1 goes for full-pixel snapping of all stems at all sizes like it's Windows 95. v2 goes for a lighter (subpixel) stem snapping all around, giving a much softer ClearType-y look that is still pretty sharp. Using FreeType 2.7 will display both softer than with previous versions. It's guaranteed that people will file bug reports like Bug 856239 again. It's a matter of expectations and getting used to the look of the newer and technically better version.
