Since Windows is your gold standard, this is their tunable settings: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/advanced/cleartype-registry-settings There is a gamma level in those settings. What you call "fuzzy" is removed by gamma correction. The thing is that this is beyond FreeType scope. It should be done by your desktop manager (Gnome, KDE, Xfce) or your browser, or PDF reader. I would like to redirect your complaint up those avenues directly asking them if they do gamma correction. Meanwhile, try ftview or ftstring from freetype-demos that your distribution likely packages. You can explore different gamma levels and hinting algorithms offered by FreeType. Again, ftview will show you what is achievable with FreeType with proper gamma correction implemented separately in the demos. Best. Alexei
