Comment # 29 on bug 904015 from Marguerite Su

Hi, 

Sorry for the late reply after half a year (I thought it was not assigned to me
before)

I am not that expert but I know how to stand on the giants' shoulders.

I just diff-ed the "without workaround" and "with workaround" outputs.

There were noises of course, the "(w)" and "(s)" took a lot of space.

After reading the source code, I know they are called "FcValudeBindingWeak (w)"
and "FcValueBindingStrong (s)",

So they're unrelated to the issue here.

Then I found what your "workaround" actually is:

antialias: True

And this explains why your Tahoma font looks like with scratches on it.
