Ooh, thanks, but I'll pass on compiling my own freetype. I actually use non-hinted mostly, so it's a minor point for me. Just wanted to check if anyone else thought anything was out of whack -- so perhaps this is the way it's supposed to be. However, in the future I'll hop back and post the results here if I try anything.
