Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:25695 Peter_Dyballa@…]:
 > In GNU Emacs 22.3 the font to write the texts in the menu bar and the
 menus' entries renders really badly now while before it looked OK.

 I don't know what to tell you. Both versions you attached look pretty bad
 to me since they're not antialiased, though the 2.4.0 rendering looks
 slightly better to me since you can now distinguish the dots over the i's.
 Not sure if this is the effect of enabling the bytecode interpreter
 hinting or something else. Suggest you communicate with the developers of
 Freetype directly.

 > Right now I can't proof this because port does not let me build freetype
 @2.3.12_0 – another bug?

 See the [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort instructions for installing an
 older version of a port].
