Sure, it's not sooo much bigger than full on manual hinting, but anything to trim it down is a bonus. What i have noticed with ttfautohint is that often e.g. a regular weight of a font will grow in size at a bigger % than the bold weight. So i'm thinking the Regular is 'over-hinted', maybe. I should look at that closer. many thanks Vernon _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
