Single link attachment precision
If an outline is not very precise you can enter a value in this field so
FontLab will have a threshold to decide when several points are located
along a line. For precise fonts set this value to 1 or 0.
Generally speaking, autohinting is a trial and error process. You can get
very good autohinting results if you select the correct options for your font
and define correct stem and alignment zone behaviour at the critical PPMs.
Processing Multiple Glyphs
You can convert Type 1 hints to TrueType instructions for many glyphs at
once if you use the Transform dialog box.
Open the Transform dialog box with the Tools > Transform command and
select the Convert to Instructions command in the Hints and Guidelines
section.
