- Cantarell: hintslight appears to be not sufficient for both BCI and autohint,
and BCI with hintfull seems to better handle distance between e. g. '8' and
'6' for same sizes. Also '8' glyph look better with BCI in smaller sizes.
Therefore, autohint=false and hintstyle=hintfull seems to be the best.

- DejaVu Sans, Droid Sans: added information why use BCI instead of
autohinter

- Liberation Sans: hintslight appears to be not sufficient for both BCI and
autohint, because longest straight lines in some glyphs such as 'g', 'a',
'B', 'f', etc., are rendered too wide (similar to hintnone). On the
contrary, using BCI with hintstyle=hintfull (likewise for hintstyle=hintmedium)
causes some parts of glyphs fonts to be too thin (see 'R' for example).
So, the best combination seems to be autohinter with hintstyle=hintfull.

<!-- Cantarell: hintslight appears to be not sufficient for both BCI and autohint
(thickness of some glyphs is not balanced in certain sizes, similar to DejaVu
Sans; e. g., with "OSI" string, 'O' and 'S' looks much more thick than 'I' in
some sizes, or even 'u', 'p' or 'f' are unbalanced), and BCI with hintfull
seems to better handle distance between e. g. '8' and '6' for all sizes. Also
'8' glyph look better with BCI in smaller sizes.
Therefore, autohint=false and hintstyle=hintfull seems to be the best. For
TrueType, this is default by rule above, nevertheless fontformat="CFF" for
Cantarell, so need to say following explicitely.
