If you have a few weeks or 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 [1] would be a good bet, but if your
labs are on Windows systems, you should plan to use the "default" GDI/GDI+
rendering rather than OpenGL rendering.
Say this because the new HarfBuzz based common layout has a number of issues
with our DirectWrite/Direct2D implementation that are being worked
through--some are quite annoying especially with the Formula editor and in-line
formulas. The GDI/GDI+ "default" rendering avoids many of these but then
misses some of the other features that OpenGL rendering offers. The 5.1 and
5.2 builds do not make use of HarfBuzz based layout on Windows and do not have
the same improvements to font handling on Windows that were needed for the
HarfBuzz common layout.
