some distributions do not compile freetype to be able to do bytecode hinting.
evas by default tries to use bytecode hinting. if freetype does not have this
enabled your fonts will look nasty and blurry. automatic hinting is next best
in terms of rendering - then "none" (which is what you get in the above
situation). this really isn't e or evas's fault - it's a problem with patents
on bytecode hinting, apple and the fact that many distributions simply don't
ship correct headers fro freetype2 AND that you can't query runtime what
hinting it can do.
