Re: ttfautohint — additional feature requests.

[Nikolaus Waxweiler]

So I'm trying to read the email thread and am confused. Where is the 
original mail?

From what I am piecing together from the back and forth so far: I 
suggest you implement your ideas in a proof of concept (maybe even 
something that generates VTT code), so it can be tested.

Can't comment on the rest because I don't see the full context. Except 
for this:

Aaaaaaargh. I'm not sure if this has to do with English not being you 
native language, but this comes across exceptionally poorly. It is a 
mix of condescension, passing off opinion as fact and feeling entitled 
to tell someone else what to work on. I recommend you work on your 
communication style, as you'll quickly turn people off.
