Yes, I've already discussed this privately with Dave Crossland. This
might be a follow-up project. However, the current one aims at
automatical hinting.

Ideally, yes. Do you know whether VTT has a high-level language for
describing hints, and whether this is published and standardized?

Mhmm, I don't think so. The follow-up library handling the proposed
intermediate language should be able to accept user values for blue
zones, but not ttfautohint.

Yes, this sounds very useful.
Thanks for your input.
