autohinter in f18

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

just for suggestion according to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708525#c18

that may be worth trying enabling autohint by default in f18
and see how it looks better. if there are less fonts not
working properly, we could disable it in the fontconfig
config file in the specific font packages perhaps.

Any comments?

AFAI see
For properly hinted fonts byte-code interpreter gives good result, ex.
Liberation
For not-hinted font autohint is best ex. Lohit fonts.
So yeah, depends on default behaviour one need to modify fonconfig file
accordingly.
