Description: Automatic font hinter
This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
removes its bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
autohinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.
.
This includes a cli and a gui version of the tool.
