Well, I hedged by writing "more or less"! There is a fuller account on the

Tell me how this works. It seems to be a different technique than
*sub-pixel* rendering, and I assume you don't mean regular (gray level, or
rather intensity) anti-aliasing (isn't 'AA' a strange name btw). (Check out
that web page. How is it different from regular AA?

I also just found out that hinting and grid-fitting in TT is done by a
200-opcode hinting language requiring its own interpreter, ouch!
