NEWTYPOGRAPHY
Werner Lemberg has started adding a GUI front-end to ttfautohint, his library which adds truetype hinting instructions to Truetype fonts using the information given by FreeType’s autohinting module.
The latest ttfautohint code is at http://repo.or.cz/w/ttfautohint.git
or the latest build is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ttfautohint/

Is this GUI front-end available?
Yes. If you build ttfautohint from the latest sources from github, ttfautohint will run with a gui by default.
For those users on OS X Lion who prefer a prebuilt binary, I’ve made a self-contained Service that will let you run ttfautohint on TTFs.
