[Bug 1470509] freetype/harfbuzz fc25->fc26 turns to ugly rendering
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470509
--- Comment #6 from Kevin Kofler <kevin(a)tigcc.ticalc.org> ---
I assume the new hinting engine has been tested with and optimized for
anti-aliased rendering only. There are not many people still using
non-anti-aliased fonts in 2007. They just always look pixelated.
If you think anti-aliased fonts are too blurry, try:
1. playing with the hinting level. The default is (was actually, for some
reason, recently changed to) slight hinting. I use medium hinting, which gives
a lot sharper fonts. Don't ask me why that is no longer the default.
2. trying out subpixel anti-aliasing with freetype-freeworld. That gives
sharper anti-aliasing on almost all LCD monitors. (I think the horizontal RGB
layout is the right one for most monitors. But if it doesn't look right, try
the others.)
