Dear Hin-Tak,

I could not find any references to Infinality or TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_38 or FT_Property_Set in your Font-Validator repository. I was actually curious how it is useful to you. Are you sure that you use it? Please help me understand how you prefer v38 to v40. Even if you assume that v38 is very popular, please explain why you think so. I am actually very interested to find out. Thank you very much in advance. No, it is not all the same to me. I care very much that Infinality makes it a lot harder to maintain the FreeType code base. Infinality is very invasive and to my knowledge nobody touched it with a 6 foot long pole once it was merged. The author disappeared. My experience was that v40 has the same quality but a lot faster. That is our default for 6 years now. Full verbatim v35 hinting is here to stay, of course. If there is no misunderstanding here, this might actually be a good idea to maintain Infinality as an external patch. Paradoxically, this might actually create better support and community around it. Best regards, Alexei
