I can't tell you what it means in general, only for FreeType.
. Activating anti-aliasing means that the output buffer has
(normally) 8bit per pixel, creating a grayscaled image. Otherwise
it has 1bit per pixel, and you get monochrome output.
. `Hinting' means that glyphs are hinted. If there is a native
hinter (either for TT or for PS), use it. Otherwise the
autohinter is used.
. `Autohint' means that always the autohinter is used (if the
`Hinting' flag is set), and never the native hinting engine.
