ME TOO. David, I've been using your patch for a long time and I love
it. Personally I just cannot understand how someone can so badly break
the kerning and character shapes for some marginal gain in crispness.
But, EVEN if this is not made the default, I don't see why it's not
included even as an option!

In case the FT developers keep being unflexible on this issue, David,
can you please update your patch so it works with 2.1.10?
