--- Comment #101 from Mike FABIAN mfabian@redhat.com --- (In reply to comment #98)
I agree that Arial looks better though, I can see "rainbow" effects in all of them.
Indeed, the all three look worse in Windows than Liberation-1 on Linux where there is no "rainbow" effect at all.
In the screenshots from Windows, the sharp byte code rendering which can be seen in my ftview screenshots in comment#97 seems to be never used.
I personally like that sharp hinting better, but it really seems to be a subjective thing and the general trend seems move away from that sharp type of hinting where vertical and horizontal lines are exactly one pixel wide at small sizes.
Newer fonts don't seem to have such byte code anymore.
