I'll take a look soon... It's a hard problem. There's no easy answer..
Thanks :)
I just saw that Markus Trippelsdorf posted two patches to this list for
Qt5 and Skia to enable proper blending. It was even on by default in Qt5
when someone complained that fonts looked different and too thin
compared to what other toolkits rendered, so they reverted the change on
XCB[1]. Funny how many pieces of the puzzle are just laying around
without much communication between the involved parties.
It looks like the potential for change is there, it's just that stem
darkening for non-CFF and autohinted fonts needs to be in place first
before the toolkits consider enabling it. I'll have a look around to see
if I can maybe salvage something.
Regards,
Nikolaus

PS: I converted the Liberation Sans family to .otf and hinted them with
AFDKO. Looks nice, but has some vertical spacing issues:
