Not my problem :-) According to the font's gasp table, hinting
should be switched off below 9pt.

I wonder how such glaring problems can be part of one of the most used
free fonts.
That was my first thought too. Of course, I only noticed this because I made

I think, that could work like this: the software has to build and
you conture around any glyphe, in a way that the distance to the
outline of the glyphe is depending on its form, so that the new
outline is closer to sharp edges then to straight

My understanding is that the auto-kerning implemented by Zapf's Hz-program is
now patent-free due to 2010 patent expiration. Is anyone familiar with the

Direct support in FreeType? Nope. You need either Pango, ICU, or
HarfBuzz which are OpenType libraries on top of FreeType (and others
also); then it works out of the box.
Thanks for the answer! I guess we're already using freetype2 in moai,

Okay, thanks for that .. it looks like something I can work with. I
guess I'll have to commit to adding pango or harfbuzz support to
MOAI, then .. time to do

Is there anyone interested in adding WOFF support directly to FreeType?
It's a trivial amount of work. Basically you copy the SFNT code, slightly
modify it, and hook up the gzip decompressor to the tables...
It's so frustrating that there are essentially no tools to work with WOFF
