Summary     : Automated hinting utility for TrueType fonts
Description :
This is a utility which takes a TrueType font as the input, removes its
bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all glyphs
are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's autohinting
module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the autohinter on
platforms which don't use FreeType.

Update Information:

Version 1.3 (2015-Jan-06)
-------------------------

* Keywords in control instruction files can be more verbose to increase readability. You can now use `left`, `right`, `nodir`, `point`, `touch`, `xshift`, and `yshift` for `l`, `r`, `n`, `p`, `t, `x`, and `y`, respectively.

* A new control instruction keyword `touch` was added to apply delta instructions before the final IUP bytecode commands, also `touching' the affected points (to use the TrueType instructions terminology).  Such deltas *do* work even with ClearType if applied to the non-ClearType direction.

* Support for the Telugu script.

* The amount of information about ttfautohint and its parameters that gets added to the `name` table by default has been reduced.  A new option `--detailed-info` restores the previous behaviour.

* ttfautohintGUI crashed if not used with a control instruction file.

* ttfautohintGUI now correctly switches to a horizontal two-column layout if the standard one-column layout would exceed the screen height.

* A new option `--family-suffix` makes it possible to append a suffix to a font's family name in the `name` table.  This can be useful during the development process: It helps the operating system to simultaneously display several instances of a font that are processed with different ttfautohint parameters.

* The new library option `info-post-callback` helps in processing data from the `name` table.
