In the screenshot I uploaded, the characters sometimes touch or overlap 
with full hinting. In the highlighted parts, closely look at 'ar' in 
'Spark', and 'Al' in 'Algemeen'.

Apart from what I find pleasant to look at, the smoothing with slight 
hinting, to me, pretty much resembles what I see in OS X. I personally 
hold Apple in high regard when it comes to typography. But then, I 
really know next to nothing about typography.

If it really is a matter of preference, then what are the arguments for 
changing the default? How can we tell which is right?
