The second screen shot is bolder, yes. But it is more consistent.
In your first screen shot, the 'w', 'x', and 'y' in the 11pt line are bolder than the other glyphs in that line.
I've added a snapshot of the Verdana sampler using the configuration change you suggested:
<match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="autohint" > <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match>
The complete 10.2b1 ~/.fonts.conf is: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- <!-- Per suggestion from Mike Fabian --> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="autohint" > <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- Here are the snapshot URLs: <http://64.142.14.4/~rschulz/font-verdana.6-10pt.SuSE10.0.png> <http://64.142.14.4/~rschulz/font-verdana.6-10pt.SuSE10.2b1.png> <http://64.142.14.4/~rschulz/font-verdana.6-13pt.SuSE10.2b1+MFabian.png> I've added a "sampler" page at: <http://64.142.14.4/~rschulz/font-sampler.html> So I will say that the 10.0 rendering is still distinctly preferable to me. The clarity and sharpness of the letterforms (in contrast to their faithfulness to the actual outlines that define them) is of paramount importance to me. Also you'll note that diagonal strokes tend to disappear with your autohint setting where they remain nicely stroked in 10.0. For the record, my 10.0 ~/.fonts.conf is: -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- By the way, if I use this .fonts.conf on 10.2b1, the results are worse than any depicted in the sampler.
