> In addition, before the integration into Chromium, we ran a wide set of pixel comparisons in Skia, comparing FreeType rendering to Skrifa and Skia rendering to ensure the pixel differences are absolutely minimal, in all required rendering modes (across different antialiasing and hinting modes).
I'm hoping (but not sure) Skrifa will support hinting (though I'm not sure how it interacts with fontconfig). I noticed your screenshot uses full hinting (a subjective choice I currently don't use on my machines), presumably with integer glyph positioning/advance which isn't scale-independent (neither is Windows GDI), though this is quite a nonstandard configuration IMO.
