Sorry, nope. You might want to fiddle with the various hinters, freetype
also provides an autohinter which might give different results.

I am not a fan of hinting. Personally I have a 125 dpi display and this
usually is sharp enough for me. Especially for big font sizes hinting
IMHO does not make any sense, and it distorts small letters sometimes
brutally. As an font-freak I don't like this at all.

But well, opinions obviously differ on that. Pick your posion  :-)

Bye,
