Hello !
2. One thing that, in my mind, is really bad about the Autohinter that when i compare a Text written in Times New Roman and Liberation Serif, which should have the same width, do not have the same width. Is there any way to fix this?No. Metrics and glyph shapes have no direct relation. Normally, TrueType fonts contain special bytecode which controls the glyph width. To make Times New Roman and Liberation Serif have the same width, the bytecode for controlling the width must do the same. The autohinter doesn't access this bytecode.
Would it be possible to accomplish the same width and height without using the Bytecode Interpreter somehow ? GUI Toolkits mostly have layout managers to handle different font sizes. Even Web Browsers and Office Programms can handle different font sizes, but there it would be a matter of beauty. Not all people want to install the M$ fonts and the Liberation Fonts are a good alternative, but some people use the BCI and some use the Autohinter and different sizes in text documents can really be a killer, when you swap text documents with other people.
