  * debian/patches/97_subpixel_hinting_defaults.patch:
    - Controversial patch time.  Change the default hinting level for
      subpixel rendering from "Full" to "Slight".

      Rationale: hinting is corrupting the shape of the rendered font to
      better fix the pixel grid.  With subpixel LCD filtering, we have
      effectively three times the resolution in which to render the font,
      so there's no need to align them to the pixel grid - indeed, doing
      that defeats the point of doing things by subpixel at all.

      The outcome of this patch is that the shapes of the fonts will appear
      much better when using Subpixel rendering.  Some people will complain
      about colour fringing, but those people who can detect subpixel
      sub-conciously should be using Best Shapes or Best Contrast anyway.
