Hmm, that's interesting, so this is the same ClearType algorithm as the one currently used in Windows 10? I actually hope Linux distros won't switch to Windows-like antialiasing, I definitely prefer Ubuntu's antialiasing (Windows' fonts are too thin an pixelated for me).
Yes, I run it several times, but each time the effect wasn't noticeably better. And I would prefer to have an option for an explicit configuration of the rendering properties (like "hinting: slight/medium/none") instead of going through a series of sample screens, because this is getting really tiresome after a few passes...
I recently switched to a 4K/24" monitor and I actually cannot say that the Windows fonts are pixelated, but they are still too thin. And the larger fonts don't look good - as if the hinting was completely disabled for them.
