Re: [ft-devel] Horizontal Stem Snapping in Autohinter

[Infinality]

The only reason I bring up the horizontal stem snapping (outside the 
context of a new autohint API) is that it could be implemented without 
needing to add any new variables, and without using the warper.  (The 
vertical stem alignment in the infinality patches relates more to the 
warper, whereas the horizontal stem alignment & snapping is done 
completely in af_latin_compute_stem_width() ).  So, I guess I was trying 
to see if you'd be willing to implement this temporarily, with the 
understanding that it would eventually be able to be fine-tuned with a 
new autohint API.  :)  Huge gain with a tiny effort!

After integrating the TT subpixel hinting patches into Freetype (very 
soon), the next logical step for me is to get the other autohint 
infinality features into Freetype, which will involve a new API.  So, 
while there may be a slight learning curve there for me, I'd be willing 
to look into it.

Thanks again,
Erik
