I feel that this autohinting is a workaround for those users who will not enable the bytecode interpreter because of the patent issues involved with it. As soon as I learned how to enable it, I experienced how crisp font rendering can be on a Linux desktop - very much the same experience Robert has written about in his post.
in fact, the autohinter that is in the freetype2 sources is NOT the full autohinter as written by david chester. i run a modified freetype here on my boxes which includes the full dchester patchset, and its... awesome. i mean, the screen of my laptop is 14" @ 1024x768, and a 7pt font is perfectly readable... bye, MH
