Ken: could you also investigate/possibly prepare (but not upload) what would need to be done in order to change the default hinting level (the posh manual hinting doesn't get used below "fullhint"). it probably possible to do this either via gconf, or dropping a font-specific match into '/etc/fonts/conf.d/*'.

Again, I'd prefer not to be drawn on the merits, but if the manual hinting is deemed important in order to "show off" the UI font, then it would be good to have this in-hand, ready (it may be more of a case of changing the hinting level on new-installs rather than seeking to change user-selections).
