thanks for the quick response.

hmm.  can't the library tell that the numerals are all the same width in the
unhinted font?

if so then might there be an option or rule to tell the autohinter: "numerals
are special - don't hint them (much) if they're all the same width in this
font"?

i think that would be enough for me.  but i'm a little hesitant about where (if
at all) it's appropriate to assert the "specialness" of numerals vs hinting.

and what should we say when everyone starts raising "my numerals are fuzzy!!"
bugs?  ;-)
