I can confirm this with the current CVS (using .  Any DPI value in the
range 81-85 makes a, r, and v render ugly.

The real question is how the Windows/Apple TrueType rendering engine
behaves.  Can someone test this?  It is possible that the font hasn't
been optimized for those cases, and that FreeType had a `bug' which
made it appear better in earlier versions (which it shouldn't -- the
output of TrueType fonts should exactly be the same on all platforms).
