Don�t know if this is a FDK or FontLab question, it depends a little bit on the answer. I try it here; it�s maybe not OK to discuss FDK related issues in a public forum like the MSN FontLab one. So, what is the exact definition of a hint overlap? Are two �touching� hints, e.g. a vhint starting at position 30 with a width of 40 and the next vhint starting at position 70, overlapping or not? I can�t find anything about this in the T1 spec. The reason I�m asking is that FDK and FontLab (at least 4.6.0.0/Win) seems to have different opinions about this. FDKs compiler warns when finding touching hints. The same is true for the hint width checking feature in �Compare Family�. FontLab however, does not warn for touching hints and it does not insert a hint replacement when applying the auto replace command. /m�rten
