Ok, I buy that. However, in my experience, this has caused ugliness on a large number of systems.
My Freetype is fine (or at least, no older than 2.1.2 -- computer not with me; I forgot if I installed 2.1.3), and after the dpi adjustment the rendering looks just as good as on Win32. Thanks for the suggestions, however.
Best,
