Fontconfig - Nov 2005 - why look msttcorefonts different under Windows?

Hi,

I''m using the fonts from the msttcore fonts package, and I have
disabled
antialiasing
for both Arial and Times New Roman. However, these fonts do not look the 
same in
Windows. Especially with characters like O, D, C etc I see that with 
fontconfig there
are some extra pixels in the "curves" of these letters (sorry,
I''m not a
font-guru and
don''t know technical terms for this) resulting in 2 pixels width. In 
Windows, these
letters have at that location just 1 pixel, making it look cleaner. With 
every fontsize
I see this problem.

I think I''ve tried about every option of fontconfig (hinting, outline
etc)
but I can''t fix
it. Enabling FC_DEBUG ensures me I''m using the right font.

When I''m using xfontsel I _can_ select -monotype-arial-medium-r-xxxx
wich looks perfect. In addition, changing size (both large and small) keeps 
a perfect result.
As far as I understand, therefore it must be possible to produce that result 
with
fontconfig too.

Can someone explain to me how I can use fontconfig making Arial and Times 
New Roman
look exactly the same as in Windows? If it''s not possible,
what''s the
reason?

Thanks a lot.
