Should Emacs users always turn off use of ClearType?

No. ClearType improves readability, and the problems depend on the
font used and perhaps other factors. In my setup, for example,
ClearType is quite usable.

If so, can Emacs do it automatically?

ClearType cannot be deactivated for specific apps, but it can be for
specific fonts, so we could "fix" it in w32_load_system_font. That'd
be overkill IMO.

If not, is this documented in PROBLEMS or somewhere suitable?

The problem and workaround are documented in PROBLEMS.


Maybe it would help users and save developers some time if the problems specific to common fonts where mentioned too?
