To test how it looks like using the byte code interpreter,
put the following in your ~/.fonts.conf file:
<?xml version="1.0"?><fontconfig>
[...]
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint" >
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
[...]
</fontconfig>
But there are fonts (though not Verdana) which look better if the
autohinter is used. Therefore switching the autohinter off always as
in the above example is not a perfect solution either.
