 Type: select
 _Choices: Native, Autohinter, None
 Default: Native
-_Description: With what method should fonts be hinted?
- The FreeType font library can adjust glyph outlines to accomodate the pixel
- grid for improved legibility.  This process is called "hinting". 
- FreeType can either use the hints built-in to each font or it can use a
- format-indepedent Autohinter.  For most font formats, using the
- format-specific hints generates better results.  However, many
- freely available TrueType format fonts don't include any hints at all.
- When loading such a font, unless you specifically ask to use the
- Autohinter, these fonts will end up unhinted, which will make them appear
- fuzzy on the screen.
- .
- If the TrueType fonts you use most include hints, then the Native hinter
- gives better results.  However, if the fonts you use most do not include
- such hints, then the Autohinter will work better.  Yes, FreeType should do
- this automatically.
- .
- You can also select None to disable all hinting, causing all text
- to look fuzzy on even the sharpest monitors.
- .
+_Description: How should fonts be tuned for the screen?
+ Select Native if you mostly use Bitstream Vera (the default in Debian) or
+ any of the Microsoft fonts.  Select Autohinter if you mostly use other
+ TrueType fonts.  Select None if you want blurry text.
 
 Template: fontconfig/subpixel_rendering
 Type: select
 _Choices: Automatic, Always, Never
 Default: Automatic
-_Description: Should fonts be rendered using sub-pixel elements?
- With known sub-pixel geometry, LCD screens can synthesize higher resolution
- in one dimension.  Taking advantage of this when rendering glyphs sharpens
- the appearance of text on the screen.  This can cause color artifacts,
- especially when rendering unhinted or autohinted fonts.  
- .
- This option selects when sub-pixel rendering should be used.  Automatic
- enables sub-pixel rendering whenever the X server detects an LCD monitor,
- which it can generally do when the monitor is built into the computer or
- connected with a digital (DVI) cable.  Always forces the system to use
- sub-pixel rendering while Never forces the system to not use sub-pixel
- rendering.
+_Description: Enable subpixel rendering of text?
+ Rendering text at a subpixel level generally makes it look a bit better
+ on flat (LCD) screens, but can show color artifacts on CRT screens. The
+ "Automatic" choice will enable it only if a LCD screen is detected.
