Patent pansies have disabled hinting in ReactOS'
freetype. So hinting
will do us no good, as hints are not parsed by the font engine.
Software patents are not valid in most countries.
Freetype 2 patented features are disabled in ReactOS by default.
You can activate it by alter the build-time setting ReactOS located in
the config xml file; "NSWPAT" flag.
If you live in a country where software patents are valid/apply, don't
enable this (except you have purchased a license from the patent
owner).
Nevertheless the fonts should look fine with default settings. But it
may look better with all features enabled.
Hence embedding hints in the TTF would be rather
useless.
IMHO, wrong; see above.
