konsole with forced hinting vs foot with hintnone

In that MR, the comparison screenshot looks to have been made at 2x scale. For
those of us with fewer pixels to throw at the problem, the effect of hinting is
rather drastic. Observe the misshapen "f", the slight heaviness to the
horizontal strokes (including double-thicc bold "n"), and the vague sense that
everything is struck-through. The attached screenshot is *after* I increased
the line spacing setting to 1px to make the vertical height match the unhinted
Foot terminal.

Anyhow, I though Freetype removed full hinting several years ago, and only
supports "none" and "slight", which is hinting in the vertical axis only. That
might explain why Nate encountered bug 476768?
