--- Comment #62 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> ---
Note that it's true that the Autonym font lacks hinting; but my test page
demonstrates that it should not be used with all CSS styles, but that it works
quite well within some limits
(font-size:13px;font-weight;normal;font-style:normal;letter-spacing:normal),
provided that the browser does not zoom in, on displays with low pixel
densities (96dpi).

Displays with high pixel densities look OK (example: smartphones that typically
have densities around 190 dpi or more). With their default zoom (you'll
experience poor readability only if you soom out).

The critical bad rendering occurs:
* when the browser zoom is around 120-150 dpi, because glyphs are just scaled
up from a low dpi rendering (around 96 dpi on desktops/notebooks displays)
without hinting, or
* when rendering font sizes below 13px (for example, small text: you loose
important pixels: don't render lists of languags with a reduced font size;
unfortunately the default font-size of MediaWiki is reduced from the browser
standard, so you see these effects with lost pixels).
