Our default font set for most languages, DejaVu, ships carefully designed 
hinting bytecode written specifically for FreeType's bytecode interpreter, 
and its designers explicitly ask for it to be used rather than the 
autohinter. (Some people dislike the font's look with the hinting, but it is 
how the designers intended it to look.)
