Not sure. Remember that what bytecode does is up to the designer. You'd
get auto x+y for T1/CFF and something random for bytecode (regardless of
v35 or v40). Also remember that some fontconfig-using toolkits only know
slight, medium and full and will not allow per-font settings.

I think this is no universal solution except choosing sides.


Also, my patch is faulty because strcmp always returns 0 it seems...
will post a better patch.
