Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.1.10-1
Severity: important
Hello,
I use kde and disabled anti aliasing cause it makes me tired very
fast. I choose the verdana font from the msttfont package with
a police size of 12.
The resulst is that the font is badly rendered most probably because
glyph hinting is ignored. My desktop use a 96dpi resolution.
To check what's happening exactly, install msttcorefonts package,
and the freetype2-demos package.
Under x window:
$ ftview -r 96 12 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/verdana.ttf
You should get a view of verdana font rendered with antialiasing wich looks
quite good. Now disable antialiasing by pressing 'a'. The font should looks
like it looks under microsoft windows : clean.
Ignore glyph hinting by pressing 'h', you now have the actual rendering
I got in kde. Needless to say it's very bad looking. Press 'a' again to
reactivate antialiasing and you will get an acceptable rendering.
I posted screenshots on http://hash4r.free.fr/debianfonts/ that should
explain it all.
The same stuff happen with gnome / other truetype fonts / monospace font
etc .. I am actually forced to use antialiasing to get some decent looking
fonts and really would like to disable AA.
I am on irc.freenode.net as 'hashar' if you need testing :)

I've enabled the full bytecode interpreter in 2.2.1-2 which should fix
these regressions.
