--- Comment #7 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com --- Yes, I can reproduce this with Verdana Bold from 10.11 using ftstring program. This is related to hinting - with sizes 14, 15 and 16 points with hinting enabled 'W' stands out as visually bolder than the rest (I'm using WTEST as a test string). Smaller sizes give more uniform glyph weight, and >16 difference with or without hinting is even less noticeable. So in general disabling hinting fixes it for this font, that's probably why this issue doesn't matter when macos native renderer is used.
