Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 I've attached a couple of samples : Oxygen-Sans 11pt, Novarese Bk Bt 11pt
 and Segoe UI 11pt, all in their regular/normal weight and in bold (semi-
 bold for Segoe UI).
 I actually prefer the rendering under X11 with these patches even though
 at this size things look just a tad fuzzy. Rendering size is not really
 identical though (despite setting Xft.dpi to 72 instead of the default 96
 dpi), which may explain my preference.
 NB: I observe the same difference in rendering size without the Infinality
 patches, so they're not to blame for that.

 Tweaking the fontconfig+infinality settings has effect on rendering in
 gedit but not in KDE nor in Qt4-Mac, so it seems they either don't use
 freetype at all for font rendering, or ignore the fontfonfig settings just
 as stock cairo does.
