However, Evince still insists on using hinting when rendering. As a result, I get particularly bad (worse than normal) text rendering with all documents. See attached screenshot for example. Zooming in and out causes apparent font weight to increase and decrease by massive amounts. Worse still is that italicized text at the same zoom level appears thinner for Times New Roman. See screenshot for example. Notice also under point 4 the italic "zero" has its diagonal bar in the "z" missing. This is just another issue with font hinting, but illustrates the problem well.
