I saw a comparison of different hinting algorithms
just a few days ago, actually all taken from FT,
2 of which were old code, one was using uptodate
code and one with the patented code enabled.
Although it's a matter of taste, the fonts hinted
with the patented code looked FAR better. This
is off-topic, though.
