I’m fine with softer overshoots. But rounding the stems to full pixels, and stem deltas to influence the pixel steps don’t seem to have any effect any more. It looks pretty awful when vertical smoothing is deactivated, or smoothing is turned off completely.
With DirectWrite, and a gasp table to disable vertical smoothing, the fonts looks pretty bad now:
