comparation using gimp

I am afraid this is an invalid bug.

Fresh install of openSUSE 13.1 and openSUSE 13.2 in Virtualbox, both used the
same Tahoma font and the same flavor (KDE Live as the reporter used KDE)

Both used the same settings as the reporter. That is, All fonts set to Tahoma
size=8 except for Monospace and Title with rendering options "0.0pt - 8.0pt,
RGB, full" and forced DPI "96".

I took screenshots on both systems. They look the same with the same settings.
And the "fc-match -v Tahoma:size=8" results the same too. It means even if
there're differences between 13.1/13.2 in system fontconfigs, they achieved the
same thing. 

I overlaped the screenshot taken on 13.1 to the screenshot taken on 13.2 with
GIMP. The rendered glyphs are even the same too. It will get rid of the minor
"effects" that the reporter can see while I can't.

So they are identically the same.

I think we were mis-guided. The only difference between the users' screenshots
of 13.1 and 13.2 is that one of them had antialias enabled (from the look, and
the diff I previously made). But the reporter's settings can not prove his
theory.

I have proved that the underlying technology didn't change between KDE release,
which is if you set exclude range from 0.0pt to 8.0pt, Tahoma will have no
antialias on size 8 for sure.

So, unless the reporter can provide further proof, I think we can close this
bug as invalid. What do you think, Petr?
