Re: [ft-devel] Patented bytecode interpretter and fallback to autohinter

I guess the ideal thing to do is to see the number of hinted glyphs
for various fonts to get some idea about it.

It's very probable that a font designer would add hinting for glyphs
that only need them. So maybe just 10% of glyphs should be considered
a 'yes.' Not sure of course.
