When will poppler honor the system hinting settings?
IMHO opinion this is a showstopper. Sometimes I have to revert to the adobe reader to get nice non hinted fonts.
Use http://bugs.freedesktop.org to report bugs or suggest enhancements. The component is poppler.
hi albert, sorry for the rant.
but this problem has been around for years and devs seem to not care. Seems like they think that antialiased *and* hinted fonts is best you can get from freetype. which is not.
Here's the bug:

This bug pertains to this problem as well.
The problem is the patch herein doesn't work anzmore and needs attention by people who know the codebase
