Re: [ft-devel] GDI ClearType support for ttfautohint available

Werner,

Did you also tweak something else in ttfautohint very recently? I'm on latest 
0.9.6-6446
Latest TTfautohinted fonts under DirectWrite render noticeably better than 
those from previous weeks builds. Stems look much crisper across the x-axis :)
Whatever you did, was good.
