Improving Linux font rasterization

Anti-Grain’s suggestions

Maxim Shemanarev from Anti-Grain now looked into the issue and suggested a set of simple but powerful, not patented methods to improve this situation drastically. He outlines the advantages as follows:

• You can kern symbols with sub-pixel precision, not worrying about introducing extra blurriness.
• You can freely scale the text as you want, with 100% guarantee of
  preserving a stable text layout that always fits other graphic elements.
• You can always be sure that the calculated text width exactly corresponds with what you will see on screen and paper.
• You can apply fancy vector effects such as “faux bold”
  and “faux italic” being sure the text will not look any
  blurrier.
