This seems to be a very sensible objection; I believe that inkscape can 
produce svg fonts, which can then be imported in fontforge and tweaked with 
hinting infos there. 

This is indeed a considerable overhead; perhaps then one could implement 
shape-rendering:crispEdges rendering in QtSvg; actually if the svg routines 
are shared with webkit, it could be that they are already implemented…

Allright, subpixel hinting is definitely not your favourite feature; I got 
your point :D 

Best,
