Dear Developers,Why would the old fonts "explode"? I thought the "subpixel hinting" was contributed from Infinality and it works best with modern fonts without good hinting. Is it true that, without "subpixel hinting" FreeType2 will just hint fonts to "full pixels" which is exactly the scenario the old fonts was developed? I think the fonts would look sharper that way.

possible, be aware that some old fonts might `explode' in this mode.
