In  www.freetype.org www.freetype.org  ,   FT_GASP_SYMMETRIC_SMOOTHING  If set, 
smoothing along multiple axes must be used with ClearType.  This is entirely 
incorrect.   From the observed behaviour of Microsoft ClearType renderers, the 
behaviour is as following:   If set, 6×5 or 6×1 oversampling may be used. If 
unset, 6×1 oversampling is always used.   This in turn roughly translates to 
FreeType language to the following:   If set, smoothing along multiple axes may 
or may not be used with ClearType.  If unset, smoothing along multiple axes 
should not be used with ClearType.   The sentence "If set, smoothing along 
multiple axes must be used with ClearType." is therefore incorrect and 
should be changed.
