Do you mean that you like fonts like in the image? It is still hinted
but without antialias. I ask because people seem to mix all the terms
and not realize that sometimes they are orthogonal, plus some just
never see differences caused by rendering options and others do (even
to the point of getting headaches, like you, in some combinations).

If so, I can commit the code that does this, only thing missing is
making it user controlable without recompile (change "int sharp = 0;"
to something that picks the value from somewhere else).
