As fontconfig/Xft can't tell what the font provides, it's really up to 
FreeType to offer reasonable interfaces to select what behaviour is 
desired.  I haven't looked in a couple of releases, but FreeType didn't
seem to offer the ability to override the native hinter with the auto 
hinter.  If it does now, I'd like to make that available to applications 
through Xft.

I'm working with Bitstream to address the rendering problems in these 
fonts.  Expect the results to look best when the bytecode interpreter is 
enabled.  Of course, as the fonts are licensed to permit changes, bugfixes 
in the instructions would be gratefully accepted as well.
