Sorry for this mistake. Now I use the same fonts to compare them again. For Latin I use Arial (.ttf), OS X: https://i.imgur.com/lSHw4fT.png FreeType: https://i.imgur.com/Jm3JAwv.png
For CJK I use Source Han Sans SC Regular (.otf), OS X: https://i.imgur.com/dvTUvJJ.png https://i.imgur.com/BMj0u6K.png FreeType: https://i.imgur.com/yG9ybct.png https://i.imgur.com/Th12ZgK.png Compare them side by side, CJK: https://i.imgur.com/eXOpUPN.png Latin: https://i.imgur.com/3huCFdq.png With the comparisons, you can clearly see the "color" difference between FreeType and other two. By my eye, it looks like OS X and MacType both font rendering's "color" have a little bit "red" inside, or just simply say that looks more "red" (or "purple red") than Linux. Only Linux font rendering's "color" still looks "blue". By "color", it's because I still don't know what really called is. I have been searching a lot of articles about font rendering in the past week, but none of them can helps me out with this "color" issue. I was thought that it probably could be "Subpixel rendering" related, but still not sure. I'm also wondering since MacType is FreeType too, which means that FreeType can did the right "color" of the font rendering. Hopefully I'm not mistaken something again. It really bother me. Thanks!
