It depends.  Usually, if you use anti-aliasing, the auto hinter should
already produce fairly good results in most cases.  Nevertheless,
there exists fonts, most notable CJK fonts like mingli, which use
bytecodes intensively to position subglyphs.  Such fonts will never
work with the bytecode interpreter disabled.

You should get the current snapshot of FreeType2 which contains
significant improvements of the auto hinter.
