David,
I think that metrics auto hinting for CJK glyphs is not a
good idea. If the font really wants that, it has to provide such data
explicitly (using a SFNT table).
BTW, having some kerning between CJK glyphs is language dependent. In
Japanese, it is more common to do that than in Chinese -- what about
an auto-kerning module? :-)
The question is how to automatically detect that metrics shouldn't be
modified? Without higher-level data (e.g. OS/2 bits + CMaps, glyph
names) it seems impossible to me.
