Looks like 2 major differences to me; - No kerning (custom distance between character pairs, not defined solely by glyph size, o - r pair is pretty obvious) Not familiar with the athens path, in FreeTypeFonts this is handled image-side. - Pixel fitting. (The aliasing going on at the top of characters) Put Hinting: None in FreeType advanced features, and you will probably see something similar to the Athens rendering. Cheers, Henry
