Yes, that looks much better now -- aspect ratios of 1.2 still snap glyphs
to the pixel grid to make them appear sharper when hinting is enabled.
With current CVS, you can edit .fonts.conf to include:
<!-- set default aspect ratio for fonts not specifying one -->
<match target="font">
<test qual="all" name="aspect" compare="eq">
<double>0</double>
</test>
<edit name="aspect" mode="assign">
<double>1</double>
</edit>
</match>
<!-- double the aspect ratio to make fonts twice as wide -->
<match target="font">
<edit name="aspect" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>aspect</name>
<double>2</double>
</times>
</edit>
</match>
And, you can specify the aspect ratio in a font name:
$ xclock -digital -render -fa 'times:aspect=4'
These effects are cumulative; with both in place, the font will be
displayed 8 times as wide as normal.
