I don't understand this.

It seems that they:

- Fail to properly position glyphs horizontally (they must obviously be aligned to pixels horizontally and not just vertically)

- Fail to use TrueType bytecode instead of the autohinter

- Fail to support subpixel antialiasing

These are standard features that have been there for 20 years and are critical and essential in any non-toy software that renders text.

How come GTK+ is so terrible?

EDIT: they do vertical-only rather than horizonal-only. Same problem, needs to do both.
