Hello,

I've noticed that freetype currently cannot apply autohinting feature to
CJK fonts correctly. So, contribution from Chinese programmer might be
needed.

A Chinese programmer whose nickname is Firefly made his own patch to
freetype2.1.4. The patch is divided into three parts:
1. CJK fonts autohinter
// partly from the code written by akito, http://www.kde.gr.jp/~akito/xft/
http://firefly.idv.tw/setfont-xft/patches/freetype/freetype-2.1.4-autohint-cjkfonts-20030511.patch
2. Automatic correction missing Chinese map, plus bytecode enabled
http://firefly.idv.tw/setfont-xft/patches/freetype/freetype-2.1.4-misscmap-enablebytecode-20030410.patch
3. More readable Chinese characters by adjusting rendering gamma

Screenshot(though you may not know Chinese, but the glyph says everything):
Current 2.1.4:

If it is possible, please check them out and merge them in the future.
Because the three patches are independent respectively, so there is no
problem just applying one or two of them.
