  Description     : Automatic font hinter
This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input, remove its bytecode instructions (if any), and return a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
autohinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.

I will need this to build the latest versions of the junicode font from source. A working package will be available soon at http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/ttfautohint/
