I fail to see how 95% of the users would benefit from full hinting. We
have tested the current settings on various screens (including very
cheap ones!) and it provides the best overall experience and
readability. Please also remember that the dpi and quality of screens
constantly improves and full hinting on any modern laptop screen just
looks plain ugly. Also, Firefox doesn't seem to respect the hinting
change (not sure if that's a known issue or it's just me) which results
in different appearance from the rest of the system.

What we should work on instead is a good font config interface that
would enable the users to easily pick the best solution for their
screen. In the ideal world this would happen automatically, but, as it
often happens, we're not quite there yet with all the required pieces :)
