The Debian package enables the full bytecode interpreter, which is not enabled upstream by default. We don't otherwise presume to fiddle with the weights of fonts, no. Which font are you using in this example? It's debated whether the freetype bytecode interpreter should be enabled, but IMHO if it gives bad results with some fonts then that's a bug that should be fixed in the fonts, because freetype is in this case only using the information provided by that font. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
