Hi,

First of all, I would like to express my delight in seeing Steve
successfully bringing the project back to life.

If you are talking about PostScript hinting (as opposed to TrueType
instructions), I don't think this is an issue worth worrying about. Unless
there were some drastic changes in the way George Williams' FontForge
behaves, I don't believe that PostScript hints are used anywhere at all.
Their only use I can envision is if someone would want to export a part of a
font file as a Type 1 font.

As of their origin -- some of them were probably indeed inherited, and some
of them may have been created by some earlier version of FontForge, when it
was doing the hinting job less well.

All the best,
Primož
