Have you thought of a 'prism.hinting' system property similar to the
current 'prism.lcdtext'?
Simply being able to toggle off FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING would, I think,
result in text rendering on Linux similar to the JDK (vertical-only
hinting when using FreeType 2.8 or later).
A system property would allow end users to control the hinting, too,
with the added benefit of being a very simple code change.
