Title:
  Add more font appearance GUI settings

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Currently gnome-appearance-properties allows to choose the hinting
  style to use and the subpixel order.

  However, the choice between the autohinter and bytecode interpreter
  often has an effect as significant as the hinting style choice, and
  thus I think it should be easily available as well.

  It could be presented as:
    Optimize fonts for on-screen readability
    (.) Using the instructions in the font
    (.) Using a generic algorithm

  The LCD filter is another important option that is not graphically
  available. Ideally, it should be possible to actually choose the FIR
  filter variance with a slider, instead of having just a few preset
  settings: this requires freetype changes. Microsoft has a "ClearType
  tuner" tool that does something like this.

  Additionally these settings should also be overridable per-font with
  the GUI, since many fonts need specific settings to look best, or are
  broken under settings that are otherwise good for most fonts.

  A generic user-friendly editor for fonts.conf could be the way to go
  for this.
