with the comparison of the two.

He wrote back, here's what I've learned:
1. He uses a program called Fontographer by Fontlab [1] which
apparently includes a couple of algorithms for autohinting. He said
that it would be a huge task to do the hinting manually for such a

I've contacted upstream about the hinting, I'll report when I hear back.
In the mean time, can anyone offer any advice on the other points
besides hinting?

way to extract that information from the font tables? The creator
specifically mentions wi
