Folks,
Adobe, in collaboration with Google, has contributed a new CFF parsing
and hinting engine. The last few months it was my job to fully
integrate the code into FreeType, and I'm very pleased with the
results. Here are links to the relevant blogs:

That's look like good stuff.
Will this new code also be integrated into ttfautohint library? :)
Its CFF so no

Not directly, since ttfautohint can't handle CFFs. However, maybe the
algorithm influences the auto-hinter also which in turn could
influence ttfautohint.

That's just plain lazy :)

Not really, since TrueType doesn't have the concept of `hints' at all.
ttfautohint emulates Type 1 hints to a certain extent, but those hints
are created by algorithm (i.e. by FreeType's auto-hinter), while
