I've found that this small hack/patch does amazing things toward a
CT-like rendering, when TT interpreter is enabled at compile time:

+++ ttinterp.c 2010-02-23 18:49:16.000000000 -0600

FT_UNUSED_EXEC;
- zone->cur[point].x += distance;
+ /*zone->cur[point].x += distance;*/
zone->tags[point] |= FT_CURVE_TAG_TOUCH_X;
}
Fonts that are designed specifically for CT, like Candara, Corbel,
Segoe, etc. look fantastic between 16px and 24px- TT instructing
vertically, and no hinting horizontally. Older ones like Arial and
Verdana also look good, but suffer from more glitches. This is
obviously not a solution, but it's a start!
