As far as I understand, the fonts that are shipping with Microsoft Reader (i.e. Frutiger Linotype and particularly Berling Antiqua) are hinted for CT. No?
Yes, although it might be interesting to compare what that meant when those fonts were made (three years ago?) and what it might mean now, since the CT rendering is not static and has improved significantly since Reader 1.0. I wasn't thinking in terms of Reader fonts, but of the kind of core fonts to which Philippe was referring.

Theory set out to produce texts that could not be processed successfully
by the commonsensical assumptions that ordinary language puts into play.
There are texts of theory that resist meaning so powerfully ... that the
very process of failing to comprehend the text is part of what it has to offer
