It will perform hinting but expect very ugly results. > I'm using the TrueType font, any way to improve the hinting other > than FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO? Define 'improve hinting'.

As I said, I need a small, compilable, stand-alone snippet (written in C) that runs on the command line and exhibits the problem. This means some work on your side to reduce your code as much as possible – you are done if removing anything from the example no longer triggers the problem. Werner
