rendering using a different way than ClearType. I find it works well,
for me anyway.

If you want Harmony, you also have to remove the freetype-2.9-ftsmooth.patch
that disables it. Disabling only the spr patch will give you only grayscale
anti-aliasing.

I've been using Harmony since 2.8.1, compiled locally. I didn't notice the ftsmooth patch in 2.9, thanks for the hint, I'll look into that. Although I have to saw I didn't notice any drastic changes between 2.8.1 and 2.9 in Fedora, but I'll test disabling that patch all the same.
