Font rendering hints - RT-36146 - progress?

[Phil Race]

I would have to look at it starting more or less from scratch
and I do not know that it would be as simple as providing a
way to tweak DirectWrite rendering. The
differences seem to be quite small differences in sub-pixel
intensity and sub-pixel accumulation of the total advance.
I do not know what API or client produced the 'native' rendering.
And what if someone else wants something different again ?
So I am not sure when we will get to looking into this and
deciding if it makes sense.
