Re: [ft] Suggestion to improve auto hinter

[Collyer, Oliver, SI]

Thanks Werner, I have given that a try but I can confirm the results are the 
same.

I added FT_OPTION_AUTOFIT2 to my ftoption.h file and added the line "load_flags 
|= 1UL << 20" to the top of FT_Load_Glyph() inside ftobjs.c

What is the intended benefit of using autofit2 rather than the default, by the 
way? Is this some kind of future work in progress?
