[Devel] Courier New rendering bug

[Suzanne Skinner]

Hello,

I'm still seeing some inferior rendering in the latest freetype, compared to
the older version shipped with XFree86 4.2.0. Refer to
http://www.igs.net/~tril/ftbug/ for a graphical comparison of lowercase a, v,
and r in 13-point Courier New.

To reproduce this, ftview Courier New at 13-point, DPI 81, with patented
hinting enabled and anti-aliasing disabled. I only have to go down to DPI 80
to see the imperfections disappear. I have tried and tried to convince Xorg to
use a different DPI (-dpi argument, DisplaySize option, NoDDC option...). It
says it's using the new DPI but when it comes to font rendering I get the same
old results :-(

Thanks!
Suzanne
