           Summary: Ugly Courier New font with cairo 1.4.12
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.4.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: freetype font backend
        AssignedTo: david at freetype.org
        ReportedBy: lonefox at welho.com
         QAContact: cairo-bugs at cairographics.org


With cairo 1.4.12, the Courier New font looks very ugly in various gtk-based
programs.  I think it is rendered without any antialiasing at all.

It is caused by this change:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=cairo;a=commitdiff;h=06af5c2891b89da28581c30afcde06c5442884db
I recompiled cairo with that code commented out and the font returned to
normal.
