-              <p>Since Adobe's contribution of a new CFF driver,
-                FreeType has excellent hinting support for this font
-                format.</p>
-
-              <p>On the other hand, FreeType's hinting of PostScript
-                Type&nbsp;1 fonts is rather bad, mainly for historical
-                reasons and lack of maintainance.</p>
-
-              <p>Since both CFF and Type&nbsp;1 are PostScript font
-                formats, the similarity (after decoding) is large.
-                The idea is now to make the CFF driver understand
-                Type&nbsp;1 fonts; this would automatically yield
-                much better hinting.</p>
-
-              <p><em>Difficulty:</em> hard (because of getting
-                acquainted to FreeType internals, not the coding
-                itself).  <em>Requirements:</em> C, Unix build
-                tools.  <em>Potential mentor:</em> Werner Lemberg
-                (FreeType).</p>
+              <p>Right now, FreeType's global documentation is
+                directly written in HTML; the API documentation uses a
+                selfmade Python script to convert a very limited,
+                markdown-like syntax to HTML.</p>
+
+              <p>Writing HTML manually is inconvenient and not very
+                flexible.  Today, there are excellent converters
+                available that can be used for conversion from
+                markdown to HTML, for
+                example <a href="https://pandoc.org">pandoc</a>.</p>
+
+              <p>This project would convert the complete documentation
+                to markdown, extending the selfmade Python script to
+                emit markdown also, and setting up a Makefile that
+                statically generates the complete HTML code of the
+                FreeType web pages.</p>
+
+              <p><em>Difficulty:</em> medium.  <em>Requirements:</em>
+                markdown, python, Unix build tools.  <em>Potential
+                mentor:</em> Werner Lemberg (FreeType).</p>
