Personally I think our current solution is quirky. Some fonts and sizes
look much better under XUbuntu, but it was a long time since I tested.
It's not quirky, it's different but consistent. I agree that it doesn't
look best compared with the rendering of other platforms, but that's
mostly taste -- I like its sharpness, but it seems to be quite expanded
or wide for my liking.
Anyhow, the new freetype rendering seems to be quirky, as it doesn't
always produce consistent results, and a uniform look. That's something
that you cannot claim of our current solution, at least.
Bye,
Axel.
