Comment #3 on issue 18335 by [email protected]: Render view font hinting wrong with antialias disabled http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18335
The other programs on your system are probably ignoring your settings, from the FreeType manual, "Slight" implies autohinting: http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2- base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX "As a special exception, this target implies FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT." If you switch between Slight and Medium, GTK apps don't change because they appear to ignore Slight hinting in mono mode. However, Chromium is following the requested settings. So, if you set your hinting to Medium, your GTK apps won't change (because they were using that all along) and Chromium should like as you expect. Maybe we should follow GTK's lead and ignore settings. I'll leave the bug open for that. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
