Comment 4 for bug 170392

For text, this one is applicable:

http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#TextRenderingProperty

However it does not contain a requirement to unconditionally
disable AA or enable hinting. Inkscape now behaves as with
geometricPrecision. Setting optimizeSpeed MAY disable AA,
and setting optimizeLegibility MAY enable hinting, but this
is not required.

Which does not mean we should not do it, of course. An
option to set optimizeSpeed interpreting it as non-AA, and
optimizeLegibility interpreting it as reenabling hinting
(now disabled) would be useful.

Alexandre Prokoudine also suggested optionally using the BCI
hinter in freetype, which would also fall under this RFE.
This would only have an effect if hinting is reenabled.
