there is no logical reason why a font exported to PDF would depend on the auto-hinter results. these things are supposed to be device-independent.

I thus suspect that there is some really funky thing happening in the Open Office PDF Font exporter, and that the changes in 2.3.2 simply magnified its mistakes.

So, unless you can show me an actual bug that I can reproduce with one of the FreeType demo programs (e.g. ftview), I will tag this bug as wontfix.

The changes from freetype-2.3.1 (works) to freetype-2.3.2 (fails) in the "autofit" code seems to cause the Arial font when exported to .pdf from openoffice.org to have overlapping glyphs. Something similar occurred in the past on change from  freetype-2.1.10 (works) to freetype-2.2.1 (fails) but was fixed in  freetype-2.3.0

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244656 for screenshots of the differences. Reverting the patch attached here gives better looking results.
