Title:
Evince ignores font hinting settings
Status in Poppler:
Unknown
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
I specifically set my system to disable font hinting because I prefer
the appearance.
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.
