It affects the autohinter.  Now to get any hinting, you need hinting to be
enalbed.  When hinting is enabled, FreeType may use autohinter or the native
hinter.  If autohint is set to true, use of autohinter is forced.  At any
rate, whenever autohinter is used, the hintstyle value affects how it works.
