Hi,

The choices you get in Windows (as far as I know) are to have Cleartype
on or off. In fontconfig this would correspond to the below

Windows has another option that disables AA for those erroneous cases that you mentioned (mostly, the MS Web Fonts at low pixel sizes), and uses grid-aligned grayscale AA otherwise, but no ClearType. This used to be the only AA setting before ClearType was introduced (up until Windows 2000), and it is still supported at least in Windows 7, although some newer Microsoft applications ignore it. It's what I use and have also configured in fontconfig, with the slight alteration that I don't use grid alignment. (But since it will likely still be possible to use such a configuration, I see no issue whatsoever.)
