Are you referring to the rotation bug where the rotated text gets 
rotated through twice the angle it should have been rotated? But only 
when autohinting is ON? I thought that bug went away..

If you are talking about a different bug, which one are you referring 
to? The double-rotation bug was really nasty IMHO, and deserved to get 
fixed even if it broke some programs..
