Re: [ft-devel] new CFF engine

[Nikolaus Waxweiler]

Hello Werner,
while testing the fantastic new engine, I found that much prefer to turn 
off stem darkening, because it really makes CFF fonts stand out compared 
to (autohinted) Truetype fonts... It's jarring to switch between 
websites and alternate between fat and thin looking text. I'm thinking 
that maybe it should either be turned off by default or stem darkening 
should also be turned on for other font types by default. And maybe made 
configurable from fontconfig like what the Cleartype tuner on Windows 
7/8 does. What do you think?

Regards,
Nikolaus
