Hello Owen!

I would say that I am more than impressed!  ;-)
I was thinking that my hinting for several fonts was *bad* (I had results 
similar to utopia-hinbug screenshot). You found another explanation/reason.
Will your patch be part of next FreeType release?
And when this release is planned?

I'd like to upgrade ASAP and check what enhancement your patch provides to PS 
T1 fonts.
