Werner,

Would there be any significant differences between the hinting from a 
ttfautohint built using Freetype 2.4.7 against one built using say 2.4.10 ?

thanks

No, IIRC.  The main reason to use newer releases of FreeType is to
avoid potential security issues, but this shouldn't be a problem for
`private' uses.

This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
remove its bytecode instructions (if any), and return a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
autohinting module.  The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.

The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
`lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description.  Note that the library
itself won't get installed currently.

A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after
compilation and installation, say

  ttfautohint --help

for usage information, or say

  man ttfautohint

to read its manual page.

A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt4 framework.  The
compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt'
configuration option.

New in 0.92:

* A serious bug in the created bytecode has been fixed, causing incorrect
  rounding.
