I'm still trying different configurations, but i do believe that the autohinter makes the fonts overly thick and blurry. I guess that's a matter of opinion. Out of curiosity, what is the dpi of your screen?

In fact, when I first saw good.jpg and bad.jpg screenshots, I thought they were reversed. The text in the "good.jpg" is to me too thin and jagged---it looks like a monochrome bitmap font. The text in "bad.jpg" is dark and smooth, which I like. There are clearly differences in opinion as to what the best rendering looks like. You should be aware that such differences exist when asking your questions.
