Ok, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around FT's internals and how it 
all works (anybody got some recommendations on how to explore an unknown 
codebase and getting a feeling for it?) and stumbled over this: ftview 
exposes different AA methods and they result in different metrics when 
using the autohinter? Look at some font with "ftview 16 something.otf", 
use the autohinter with f and press A, B, C and look at how the glyphs 
shift around. Shouldn't they stay in place? Interestingly, when Adobe's 
hinter is active with .otf fonts and you press B (-> autohinter), glyphs 
don't shift.
