Mon 20 Feb 2012 02:48:35 PM UTC, comment #3: Version 2.4.4 suffered from too aggressive flattening of Bézier curves, which could potentially explain this bug. It is very possible that it is fixed since version 2.4.6. |

Wed 25 May 2011 09:11:12 AM UTC, comment #2: I can confirm the problems. Unfortunately, the renderer for PostScript based fonts is the weakest part of FreeType; nobody is currently working on it. Probably the best solution for now is to activate the autohinter.

The AS Garamond font (downloadable at e.g. http://dasmagazin.blankpage.ch/dasMagazin/fonts/AS_Garamond.otf ) looks quite odd when rendered with FreeType 2.4.4 at sizes up to around 24px.
