Due to hintlight it does not use bytecode to its full strength and use subpixel
rendering. I think that is the reason when we use above setting

 All renders bit similar to each other. Since the outline is same in fonts for
all fonts (not tested Arail though)

Agree with this, below is image for it. Just compare it with above.
