This looks very promising!  A small aside: I'm not really happy about
the `slight hinting' phrase; it just happens that the rendering
results look more crisp due to the optical resolution increase in the
horizontal direction.  What about `subpixel hinting' or something into
this direction?

BTW, don't worry about the unpatented hinting stuff; in May or so the
TrueType patents expire, and I'll remove this stuff altogether.
