One of the most important outstanding bugs is the very old
bug #5553: Characters deformed in Windows apps
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?5553
(Please, refrain from emotional and jingoistic reactions.)
FreeFont TrueType fonts look just awful in Windows applications: I
tried several.
They look like badly scaled bitmaps.
I intend to address this issue for the next release.
Does anybody know why this happens, and what can be done about it?
Is it hinting? Some switch in the font info I don't know about?
Thanks!
