Intial support for Type1 hints introduced in mustang helped to improve quality of type1 fonts in
many cases but still there are many cases to be improved.
In particular glyphs 'bdeg' (size 13) and some others of font
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/l048013t.pfa: "Luxi Sans" "Regular"
look bad (B&W or greyscale).
This specific font and those specific glyphs are important
because they are the worst offenders in what seems to be a standard
font on some configs
(E.g. this font is picked as font matching desktop font 'sans' on Fedora Core 4).
Screenshot of Netbeans illustrating problems is attached.
Note that this bug is different from umbrella RFE 6331344.
It focuses on particular problems and at first glance these glyphs mostly use
hints already supported by jdk rasterizer but contains many non-trivial curves.
Would be great if we can better apply these hints to curves.
I added screenshot of NetBeans main menu under Linux Fedora core, where font problems are unfortunately very visible.
