I saw a comparison of different hinting algorithms just a few days ago, actually all taken from FT, 2 of which were old code, one was using uptodate code and one with the patented code enabled. Although it's a matter of taste, the fonts hinted with the patented code looked FAR better. This is off-topic, though. Robert -- Robert Roebling, MD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
