That screen shot is not directly comparable to the screen shot
posted by Randall R Schulz. Randalls screen shot apparently uses
sub-pixel hinting, your screen shot does not.

The autohinter of the current version of freetype does render
most glyphs a lot bolder than before. I still think that is better
than rendering only the diagonals very bold and all vertical
and horizontal lines not bold as it was the case in SuSE 10.1
with sub-pixel hinting switched on. See

    http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=170067

Anyway, most of the fonts which are discussed here
(Microsoft fonts like Verdana, Agfa Fonts, Déjà Vu fonts, ...)
have good TrueType byte code instructions, using the
byte code interpreter for these fonts instead of the autohinter
seems to produce far better results.

I'll try to disable the autohinter for these fonts *if* the byte code
interpreter is compiled into freetype2.

Currently the byte code interpreter is compiled into our freetype2
package.
