76057 doesn't seem to apply to what I'm seeing; the complaint there
seems to be that non-AA fonts are ugly.  I'm not having a problem with
the quality of the outline generation; that looks fine (and even
better once the bytecode interpreter is turned on and the webfonts are
in place).

Instead I'm having problems with freetype not snapping vertical
elements to the pixel grid.  For example, a lowercase ell (which is
just a vertical line of pixels in the font I'm using) is not snapped
to either a one or two pixel width; instead it has a non-integer width
which is approximated by drawing one black line and one grey line next
to it.  A sample is at
