how can I find out if ttf native hinting is enabled?

Does anyone know how I can figure out if native hinting for truetype fonts is enabled?

I've been running etch for a couple months now and I understand that this is the way to go with quality fonts such as Microsoft Verdana.

That's the screen font I use wherever I can and it does not render quite as well on debian etch as on a Windows machine.

Is there a way I can find out?

And if it it turns out it is not enabled, is there a document anywhere that explains how I could enable it on a debian system?

Thank you!

gavron.
