I have built an image using freetype 2.7.0 and had a quick look around.
I've an archive of a few PNGs old/new in my dropbox. [2] It's best to
see the differences by unpacking in a folder and browse thru them with
ShowImage.
I think it's not a question of whether we're going to update or not, but
whether or not we might want to disable the changed rendering.
The hinting looks a bit off with the new version, though; the rendering
is not as uniform as it could be -- this is especially noticeable with
the "Documents" menu item in StyledEdit, or the 'i's in the line second
to bottom.
I do like the more condensed look of the font, though, and I do like the
look of "Appearance" better than before.
I'm not sure whether or not I like the new version better, as it seems
to be somewhat quirky at least in some font sizes.
Bye,
Axel.
