Probably not. I will only fix problems where:

  - the problem is well identified *and* well understood
  - the fix is obvious *or* has been thoroughly tested

I can only afford "quick looks" at existing problems, and since
touching the hinting algorithms is a *very* delicate process
(one improvement for one font may break other ones) there are
chances that this bug will not be fixed for 2.1.4
