I've added a snapshot of the Verdana sampler using the configuration change you suggested:
Thank you, that is very nice for comparison.
<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>
The last rule above switches on sub-pixel-hinting (rgba is set to "rgb"). But when looking at your sampler page one can see that only the SuSE 10.0 screen shot uses sub-pixel-hinting, the others do not. The reason is, that the freetype2 package currently in beta1 has disabled sub-pixel-hinting at compile time. If sub-pixel-hinting is already disabled at compile time in freetype2, it is not possible anymore to switch it on with the setup rule above. Therefore it is difficult to compare your SuSE 10.0 screen shot with the 10.2beta1 screen shot, in a way it is comparing apples and oranges.
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.
