Double quotes antialiasing is bad

[haarp]

Hey there,

I'm noticing double quotes (") looking bad in my text editor. Both strokes look to have different blackness, which at small sizes looks weird and makes my brain struggle to focus on the character (are there one two or three quotes? :D).

Screenshot (end of last line): when zooming in you can see that the right line has less black. Ideally both lines should have the same blackness.

5pt @ 189dpi, freetype 2.13, Sub-pixel anti-aliasing with Slight hinting (I think). Settings:

{"weight":450,"italic":false,"alternates":{"cv01":false,"cv02":true,"cv03":false,"cv04":true,"cv05":false,"cv06":true,"cv07":false,"cv08":false,"cv09":true},"features":{"ss01":false,"ss02":false,"ss03":true,"ss04":true,"ss05":true},"letterSpacing":-5,"lineHeight":0.95,"fontName":"Custom"}

Thanks!

Unfortunately this isn't really something I can control at the moment. I am working on a way to generate hinted ttf files from the website to hopefully improve issues like this. In the latest release here on GitHub you'll find a folder with autohinted files with default settings. You can try those to see if it helps, but otherwise you need some patience unfortunately. Hope you understand.

I see. I did give the autohinted ones a look, but they're difficult to compare due to the different spacing to my custom ones. I'll stay tuned for that hinting then :) Thanks for your continued wokr on this!
