<p>Welcome to this new section of the FreeType site. We have created this
   page in order to gather opinions, information, experience, comments and
   ideas regarding the design and implementation of a new module called
   the <b>FreeType Auto-Hinter</b>.</p>
   
<p>The auto-hinter (that we'll simply call "the hinter" in the rest of this
   pages) is a module used to align glyph outlines to the pixel grid in order
   to tremendously improve glyph images when they are finally scan-converted,
   either to a monochrome bitmap, or an anti-aliased one.</p>
