I read your article. I am a bit confused about BCI and autohinting. 
You say that BCI is to be preferred over auto-hinting and that BCI is 
automatically enabled in Fedora 15.

I had been plagued by wiry, spindly, thin fonts in Fedora for some 
time (is this BCI that is causing that?) and someone on this list 
suggested enabling auto-hinting by making a link in /etc/fonts/conf.d:

ln -s ../conf.avail/10-autohint.conf .

This has worked exceptionally! Yet you say that this has actually 
disabled BCI?

I am confused. So, BCI, the new, preferred and superior system, 
produces these horrible characters, while the less preferred auto-
hinting system produces these breathtakingly sharp and readable fonts?
