#### Configuration for Hinting and Anti-Aliasing

New interfaces allow configuration of hinting. According functionality is supported by FreeType integration.

The new method [TextRendering::Font::SetRequestedGlyphFormat](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/class_candera_1_1_text_rendering_1_1_font.html#a92c945ce5945b332320c3e68dee77e75) allows also to choose value "Monochrome" as [Candera::TextRendering::GlyphBitmap::Format](http://dev.doc.cgistudio.at/APILINK/struct_candera_1_1_text_rendering_1_1_glyph_bitmap.html#a5c135c8ae0f42aaad6d250aa6ae6b7fa "Format of the pixel buffer.") which disables anti-aliasing but might give good results with small font sizes or in use cases with low color resolution (e.g. monochrome display).
