Yeah, really
Having some parameter in fontconifg for disabling/enabling BCI for
particular font would be best option. Removing hint instructions from
fonts is not good options.
It's possible to force the autohinter for a font in fontconfig, with
something like this:
http://cvs.rpmfusion.org/viewvc/rpms/freetype-freeworld/F-12/99-DejaVu-au...
(I used to ship this in freetype-freeworld because of the complaints about
DejaVu looking so different with the BCI enabled, but I no longer ship this
particular config file. But a solution like this might be best for the
partially-hinted fonts we don't want to tamper with directly.)
