Hello,
I noticed that when I run:
fc-match -v “Noto Sans”
I get something interesting:
hinting: True(w)
autohint: True(w)
I get information that noto sans is a font with its own hinting instructions, but autohint is enabled. From what I’ve read it seems that autohint should be used only on fonts that don’t have their own hinting instructions. But noto sans and lato have such instructions. My question is why is autohint enabled for these fonts by default, while some fonts like arial or times new roman have their own hinting instructions and autohinting disabled by default?
Thanks for help
