Re: [ft] Regression of Andale Mono with v35 vs v40

[Xing]

It looks like that the the stems are not aligned in the "x" direction in sub-pixel hinting? I think it is intentional for v40 and I remembered to change this by adding fonts to the "`tricky' fonts 
list" in ttobjs.c during compiling time, but can we change this setting per font in fonts.conf using fontconfig at runtime?

Sincerely yours
