This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
remove its bytecode instructions (if any), and return a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
autohinting module.  The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.

The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see

Would there be any significant differences between the hinting from a ttfautohint built using Freetype
2.4.7 against one built using say 2.4.10 ?

thanks

No, IIRC.  The main reason to use newer releases of FreeType is to
avoid potential security issues, but this shouldn't be a problem for
`private' uses.
