As per David's comment:

Additionally, and I think this needs to be ​emphasized​ (and @chris might be able to provide some additional insight into this): I don't think rendering a single glyph is good enough. I think we need to render perhaps 4 or 5 of the same glyph horizontally next to each other. Not as separate glyphs at separate horizontal positions, but as if they're a single word. The reason for this is that fractional width of the glyph-box I mentioned earlier. I don't know about other platforms, but I've noticed on Mac OS X that the subpixel anti-aliasing of certain glyphs differs depending on the horizontal position it's drawn at.
