[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Dear maintainers,
I built Emacs with commit 02054d9cd1f5c6a5ca3555207235522532477e10 using
--with-pgtk and have noticed that there is a change to the hinting of
the fonts relative to commit d25cb37694de446e6dd1095f489d5436ea9e20ae.
Please refer to the attached screenshots which compare the two commits
using Hack and Source Code Pro, respectively. The differences are
subtle, though you can see how the 'm' is affected.
The hinting is inconsistent. Even in this very message. Notice the
quotes in this 'Hack' with the one below which has a thinner first quote
and thicker second one:
'Hack'
All the best,
Protesilaos

Thanks for reporting the bug. Could it be a problem with your system?
Can you reproduce the problem with an X11 build with Cairo drawing?
Running configure without any arguments should produce such a build on
your system.
And please try bisecting to find exactly which commit caused the
problem.
Added tag(s) moreinfo.
