I hope this will *change* in the future.
Well, I have spent some time manually hinting Type1 fonts, and while I am
satisfied with font's look in ATM 4.0/Windows, there were some
glitches in FT2.
In particular, with some Cyrillic letters.
// Besides, Adobe Minion and Miriad (Latin) have some problems rendered with
FT2.
I was thinking that I did wrong hinting.
Thanks to pinting out that native PS TYpe1 hints are ignored.
When we can expect release with support for native hints?
