--- Comment #22 from Brian Marshall bmarsd@gmail.com --- (In reply to Akira TAGOH from comment #21)
just FYI, there are a comment from FreeType maintainer in the list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2014-January/005073.html
That's interesting. I really like the dark, thick look of CFF fonts with medium hinting as they are now in F20, it's just the inconsistency with non-CFF fonts at the same hinting. If they're talking about changing the rendering internally, rather than swapping hint styles around for CFF, I'd like to be able to set it back somehow.
Sorry if what I'm saying is already known or isn't an issue - just wanted to provide some representation in this bug for people who like dark fuzzy fonts.
Also, from that link: "Given that the current version of the Cantarell fonts has broken hinting ..." I'm not sure about that, because Adobe's Source Sans Pro and Source Code Pro fonts (which are also .otf) look similar to Cantarell for me (fuzzy at hintmedium, thin at hintslight).
