Nope.  How did you come to that conclusion?

This isn't correct, either.  The auto-hinter is completely agnostic of
whether glyphs use second-order (TTF) or third-order (CFF) Bézier
curves.

What exactly do you want to achieve?  If FreeType gets linked with
HarfBuzz (which you should always do), the `glyph-to-script-map`
property should be correctly set automatically – for SFNT-based font
formats, that is, which is both used by TTFs and CFFs.  However, you
won't find any other font formats today that can be universally used
on all platforms.
