EVALUATION First, difference is only present in the greyscale mode, LCD modes are ok. Reverting part of change for 6223022 (just rounding done in the t2k/util.c) seems to return old behavior. That rounding change helped to improve quality of with 11pt MS Sans Serif Q, 12pt Z and several other glyphs from other fonts/sizes. Therefore in general it is clearly positive and we do not want to rollback it. Note that difference in AA mode is also very small. It is because same fixed point multiplication operation is used to generate stems for AA and new rounding introduces small difference there. I am not sure what is the best way to approach this - we can try to revert to old rounding for AA calculations or inspect AA calculations and try to update them to not depend much on rounding. In any case this problem is not very significant. And improvement done by 6223020 justifies these sideeffects. Perhaps we can remove AA mode from regression test for now.

EVALUATION The only related fix in b05 was fix for 6223022. However, i still do not clearly understand why it could have caused this (difference is present in AA and LCD modes).
