I'm basing that on looking at the hinted results in VTT. In VTT , whether viewing B/W or subpixel rendering, the hints "pinch" the stem widths to nearly no weight at all. It may be that the behavior of missing pixel recovery in B/W give some acceptable results, but the hints appear to be attempting to render the rounded stems much thinner than they should be. -- Jason Campbell [email protected] www.campbellgraphics.com www.campbellcomics.com Join me on Facebook: facebook.com/CampbellComics <http://facebook.com/CampbellComics>Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/campbellgraphic 781-799-0457 On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 10:08 AM, Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]> wrote: > > > But the rendering behavior you're seeing is because of poor hints, > > in particular the hints for the curved vertical strokes, between > > 9-27. > > I disagree.
