--- Comment #10 from Marek Kašík mkasik@redhat.com --- (In reply to Clemens Eisserer from comment #7)
Marek: This bug is not about different appearance - but about subpixel antialising not working anymore (please see the screenshot attached - taken from the xfce font settiongs dialog).
Actually, original reporter did not respond to my questions and did not provide a screenshot so we really don't know about what this bug is about. But it seemed to describe the change which happened in hinting.
It would be better if you could open a separate bug for your issue so I can evaluate it properly (so I see which version of OS and freetype you use).
