Hi Antti,

This is indeed interesting, and very similar to what Skia does.  I believe
Skia has five buckets for the alpha, and ignores the middle bucket.

That said, it resulted in really bad color fringing in bright-on-black text in
Chromium.  I'll try to find the bug.  But then, Skia is doing a lot more stuff
with the glyph masks, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a Skia screwup.

Do you have before / after images?

Cheers,
