Ok folks, so I checked various flags and they cause various changes to the
appearance, but no luck so far, the 2.1 was still better.
FT_LOAD_DEFAULT does basically nothing as it is 0 anyway :)
FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT does nothing as well
FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING makes everything kinda blurried
FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT is probably the best, but still not good as 2.1
