Hi,

I am currently maintaining Liberation Fonts project. As most of the bugs
that I received were in regard to hinting defects, I would like to ask
about info of font hinting.

As you might heard of, Liberation Fonts were shipped from commercial
fonts manufacturer, Ascender. The deliverable is in .TTF format. The
files were converted into .SFD format and hosted as open source project
on fedorahosted.org.

Unfortunately, along the project runs, there are bug reports of hinting
problem on certain characters. This has raised me the following needs of
info/knowledge:

- - Is there anyone in fedora community who could provide helpful info on
how to manage a high quality hinting?

- - Which free hinting tools are available other than fontforge?

- - Where could I find resources of hinting instructions? Precisely, full
specs of hinting instructions, such as parameter explanation of all
hinting instructions

- - If a CVT table has no comments on each value, do I have to do reverse
engineering and how should I begin?

As Mailhot's previous emails on new font packaging guidelines, he often
let us refer to Dejavu Fonts. I am wondering if I could catch up any of
Dejavu devs who don't mind kindly provide valuable info of hinting?

Thank you very much for reading.

Best Regards,
kaio
