The Bistream Vera fonts have GASP entries suggesting that hinting be disabled below 8 ppem, but FreeType ignores those, preferring to use the data found in the instructed hints. The initial Vera release didn't include the right instructions in the 'prep' table. --> <match target="font"> <test name="family"> <string>DejaVu Sans</string> </test> <test compare="less" name="pixelsize"> <double>7.5</double> </test> <edit name="hinting"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
