Hi Colin,

Here is a screenshot of me running jEdit from a Debian host (Jessie) 
over an X session via PuTTY on Windows :p.

You've never had something like that? The autohinting doesn't work, I 
believe. I have had the same on Kubuntu 16.04, never any different, no 
matter what I tried.

I even fixed autohinting on Linux for GTK using:

ln -s /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf 
/etc/fonts/conf.d

because it also didn't work for the GTK apps I was running on XMing.

After I turned it on, night and day difference for the apps I was 
running (e.g. Geany).

I could post a screenshot of the same jEdit on Windows, but let's just 
say that the fonts are way more fuzzy than on Linux (which is a good 
thing) for me.

So I was just wondering how I could achieve font smoothing or 
autohinting on Ubuntu or Debian or Kubuntu, in this sense. For java.

Regards.
