--- Comment #8 from Matthew Miller mattdm@mattdm.org 2009-12-14 23:41:39 EDT --- So, in that comment and code, I found that if the hinting mode is set to "LIGHT" instead of medium, the auto-hinter _is_ used. And experimentation bears this out.
That explains why not everyone is immediately fussing about this, and I suppose takes some of the urgency out of the equation.
Still, there's a definite regression: medium and heavy hinting modes should not mean "no hinting!".
