Hi,

The poster's example looks like FreeSansBold at about 16pt.
I tried his text with gedit.

And I agree, it doesn't look good.

The problem lies in the overshoot for most of the round letters.
The overshoot is quite excessive.
Overshoot is supposed to make the basline appear more uniform, not less uniform.

In particular, the capital C dips far below the baseline. When followed by a letter with no overshoot such as r, it looks misplaced.

when the size of FreeSans font is increased, letters have different hight and this looks terrible, is it possible to avoid this somehow?

see attached screenshot
