Description

TrueType hinting instructions can be removed from font files when a cleaner or simpler font build is needed. It is useful for font maintainers and designers preparing fonts for specific rendering or distribution workflows.

This command modifies font data, so it should be run on copies of original files. Removing hints can change how text appears at small sizes or on older rendering systems.
