Thanks, but unfortunately none of these settings seems to have any effect. |

If you have freetype with the "bindist" USE flag disabled (should be |
| 22 |
default I think), then you also get the bytecode interpreter in addition |
| 23 |
to the autohinter. The bytecode interpreter is usually disabled because |
| 24 |
of patents. It is enabled by forcing the autohinter off. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The bytecode interpreter reads the hinting information supplied by the |
| 27 |
fonts themselves rather than trying to construct its own hinting like |
| 28 |
the autohinter does. |

Anyway, no big deal since I mainly use Firefox anyway. |
