The contribution comes on the heels of Adobe and its CFF (Compact Font Format), a new method for FreeType raster which among other benefits decreases the size of the font files, although the point key is the improvement achieved in the display fonts, especially in fidelity in their representation, sizes and placement, among others.

Great news, no doubt. Just need to wait for the breakthrough development and distributions are made to the improvement that we, the users, to enjoy.
