Ooohhh, I really wish all my PDFs could be displayed with HINT_SLIGHT & FIR5! Just out of curiosity, what did you modify to force it?

BTW, I think that for precise positioning of small glyphs, it could be possible to do sub-pixel positioning, as defined here: http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-5.html . For the small glyphs, instead of generating one glyph per character, it would generate 4 glyphs (or whatever number) corresponding to the possible displacement compared to the base pixel. Then depending on the exact position of the character, the best fitting of the 4 glyphs would be used.
