            Bug ID: 1062903
           Summary: cantarell hints very poorly with new freetype CFF
                    engine (i.e. regression)
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts
          Assignee: ccecchi at redhat.com

Bug 995643 was filed against freetype for hinting Cantarell very poorly. That
was closed as NOTABUG. But that doesn't change the fact that Cantarell is still
fuzzy, which is a major issue for a UI font. So let's try filing this bug the
other way around. :)

Playing around with ftview suggests that forced auto hinting gives back roughly
the same hinting as in Fedora 19. So could we have that as a fontconfig bandaid
until better hinting information is available in the font itself?
