[Devel] Bad truetype rendering? still not satisfied!!

[Robert Schelander]

After comparing the results with an old freetype1 I'm
again not really satisfied.

Rendering of seperate letters is now more or less ok 
with activated bytecode interpreter, but spacing between 
':' and '.' characters makes still not a good result. Look at 
the link and compare:

Both examples use the same arial.ttf and a size of 12.

Is there another option that either everyone except me
knows or nobody cares?

Is freetype1 anyway better than freetype2 -  is freetype2 just
another hack around some patents?

Thanks to those who have already helped me!

Robert
