Werner,
I am totally fine with calling this whatever you'd like. "Subpixel
hinting" makes sense to me.
2010-03-10:
* Changed the function names to end in _sph instead of _ttslight
* Added code back in that deals with x, and divided "distance" by 32,
instead of ignoring completely.
* Removed modifications from the unpatented hinting section
* Made ALIGNPTS use _sph, which supposedly doesn't matter, but helps
some legacy italics.
* A couple other things maybe. Overall not too different from last
patch version.

Screenshot of the patch in action, with various fonts, in WINE Wordpad.
There are artifacts with some fonts / glyphs that will probably have to
have TT function calls disabled in order to render better:

This looks very promising! A small aside: I'm not really happy about
the `slight hinting' phrase; it just happens that the rendering
results look more crisp due to the optical resolution increase in the
horizontal direction. What about `subpixel hinting' or something into
this direction?
BTW, don't worry about the unpatented hinting stuff; in May or so the
TrueType patents expire, and I'll remove this stuff altogether.
Werner
