dragoran at feuerpokemon dot de reported the following. Is it possible to make
DejaVu a td darker with the bytecode interpretter enabled ? (or at least make
autohinter and bytecode interpretter rendering match ?)

I tryed it but for me the default font used in apps (FC5) looks better 
and is easier to read...
the new fonts look to 'thin' and are harder to read because of this ..
notes:
1) I am using a TFT with a german locale + no subpixel AA, but greyscale AA
2) I have recompiled the freetypelib with the bytecode interpretter enabled
