Autoreplace
This action automatically builds a hint replacement program for the
overlapping Type 1 hints. Refer to the chapter “Hinting” for more
information about hinting and hint replacement.
Convert to links
Use this action to convert Type 1 hints to links. FontLab will analyse the
outline of the glyph and try to make links that will replace the hints. Refer
to the “Glyph Window” chapter for information about hints and links.
Convert to hints
This action is the reverse of the previous one. It converts all links to hints.
Because this operation is always possible (conversion of hints to links is
not), you can be sure that it will replace all links by hints.
Drop TT Hints
This action removes all TrueType hints, including visual (manually
created) and imported, from the source TrueType font.
