Truetype vs Type 1 hinting

Richard Kinch on the "hinting mess", and a comparison between type 1 and truetype hiting. A quote from his posting: "Type 1 vs TrueType hinting is like folk guitar versus classical violin. The former is relatively easy to play, rewards modest skills, yet has limited creative range. The latter is hard to play, sounds good only with a rather rare expert effort, yet has infinite creative possibilities." This was part of a usenet discussion.
