Aah, Hirotsugu's project is still alive? I met him a few years ago in
Tsukuba, but even then he told me that he didn't have much time to
work on it...

Theoretically, this should work, especially if you work in the
autohinter mode of FreeType. However, the native Type 1 hinting
engine of FreeType contains some known flaws, and noone is actively
working on it. A few months ago someone suggested to pass the Type 1
hints to the autohinter (which is a good idea, I believe), but nothing
has happened in the mean time, AFAIK.
