Thanks Werner.
I will test this tonight :)
Also - i have noticed ttfautohint has limitations when it comes to instructing
very light weighted fonts.
The autohinter is creating instructions that produce much too thin stems. The
uniformity of the stems seems good :) but they are simply too thin and
disappear at below 18-16 px.
Could there be a way to set the autohinter to impose a minimum size of stem
widths, for example??
I will post you screenshots later of the issue.

ttfautohint 0.4 has been released. If you have had rendering problems
on Apple computers, please try this version. Theoretically, those
issues should no longer be there.
It is available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ttfautohint
Enjoy!

This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
remove its bytecode instructions (if any), and return a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
autohinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.
The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
`src/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description. Note that the library
itself won't get installed currently.
A simple command-line interface to the library is the demo program
`ttfautohint'; after compilation and installation, say
ttfautohint --help
for usage information, or say
man ttfautohint
to read its manual page.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New in 0.4:
* The bytecode has been changed to `create' twilight points. This should
avoid rendering artifacts on some platforms.
