[ft-devel] [autohint] improved handling of serif fonts

[Werner LEMBERG]

Folks,


please test the current git.  I have slightly changed the code in the
auto-hinter which recognizes flat segments; it now accepts a broader
group of shapes.  As a consequence, handling of serif fonts like
Palatino or Quattrocento should be much improved.

I have also imported this code to ttfautohint.

Cf. this bug report:
