IMHO, if we want to ship this by default, we really need to fix FreeType for the case where the font doesn't provide hinting bytecode. AFAICT, currently, in that case, if FreeType is built with the BCI enabled, it won't do any hinting at all. See e.g. the CJK characters in the screenshot by Martin Sourada at: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lh41g82r7rk/SuWk7rqgaJI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/AfWQU9yAHu8/s1600-h/mark-the-difference.png (the first line is no antialiasing, no hinting, the second one is antialiasing only, the third one is antialiasing+hinting and the last one is antialiasing+hinting with forced autohinter) from: http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/10/mark-difference-ugly-fonts-in-fedora.html It should fall back to the autohinter when the font does not provide hinting bytecode.
