Sorry, but you should get up to speed with how font rendering works. Antialias 
has nothing to do with hinting. Sure they both interact to form the final glyph 
images but they are different ways to change the appearance of fonts.
Hinting changes the shape of glyphs, so it’s no surprise what you describe. In 
fact hinting or instructions in TrueType was invented by Apple and licensed to 
Microsoft to improve the look of monochrome fonts in Windows 95.

BTW, selecting »Full« in the Details dialog will give you the exact look
of Hardy; to the pixel. What then is the point of this report? I think
it should be closed.
