Font hinting can be terribly difficult (more art than science) and incredibly time consuming. Matthew Carter designed a custom font for us and I've been involved in the process of its creation / tweaking over the last few years. Everything I've seen makes me feel like TrueType hinting experts are like the digital equivalent of Swiss watchmakers. I'd love it if more font "programmers" (the guys actually creating the font, not designing it) would tell their tales.
