Owen,

In my opinion, screenshot "With improved hints and gamma correction" (which I 
believe you rfer to) has serious renderin artefacts.
Width (*boldness*) of diagonal stems (v w x y z V W X Y X Z ) and curved 
glyphs (a b c d g o p q s B C D G O Q S 3 5 6 7 8 9) is inconsistent with 
widths of horizontal and vertical stems.
I think rendering on screenshot "With improved hints" (no.2) is better than on 
screenshot with gamma correction (no.3)
