this is my live system with most recent packages installed, as you can see. it shows autohinting. native hinting has no effect.

note that this does not only affect the distance between letters. note, for example, the 2 pixel difference between strokes in the "f" letter.

the effect becomes even more dramatic with fonts like tahoma or segoe ui.
