Igor once explained to me that FreeType has the possibility to degrade
fonts when the family does not provide it.
Cairo does not have this possibility.
Esteban I'm sure that the same code is used. FreeType is much more
advanced than Cairo when it is about fonts.

Anyone knows, why the text rendering with athens (cairo) looks slightly
different than the freetypeplugin one?
attached is a screenshot, left side athen right side (morphic)
freetypeplugin.
It "looks" like the cairo freetype fontrendering uses
CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY, no colored subpixel antialiasing.
But the font options do define antialiase subpixel and a subpixel
ordering RGB.
This is on windows 7 with the latest vm, does it look different on other
Systems?
