-		 Hinting will be done before Embolden in freetype2,
-		 but in such case, Embolden will get wrong result
-		 on some glyph contours after applying hinting.
-		 Actually, hinting should be done after embolden, but we can't
-		 fix it in current freetype2. So as a workaround, just turn off
-		 hinting if we want to do embolden.
