Ah, this reminds me to rectify one remark: >> Note that Adobe uses a special, self-made version of the TT >> interpreter which both handles stem darkening and artificial >> emboldening *before* hinting takes place. This was faulty memory of mine: They actually use a special version of TT interpreter (it's a patched version of the MS interpreter), but stem darkening and embolding takes place *after* hinting. The darkening amount, however, needs to be fractional. The Adobe people implement this by disabling hints in the x-direction (which is disabled for the LCD mode anyway), applying darkening only in the x-direction.
