* docs/CHANGES: Updated. 

Improve inter-letter spacing for autohinted glyphs.

* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_Glyph_Metrics): Add elements
`lsb_delta' and `rsb_delta'.

* src/autohint/ahhint.c (ah_hinter_load): Set `lsb_delta' and
`rsb_delta' in slot->metrics.

* src/autofit/*: important fixes to the auto-fitter. The output
now seems to be 100% equivalent to the auto-hinter, while being
about 2% faster (which proves that script-specific algorithm
selection isn't a performance problem).

to test it, change "autohint" to "autofit" in
<freetype/config/ftmodule.h> and recompile.

a few more testing is needed before making this the official
auto-hinting module

`FT_Get_Charmap_Index'. (This function is needed to implement
cmap caches.)
- `FT_Outline_Get_BBox' sometimes returned incorrect values for
conic outlines (e.g. for TrueType fonts).
- Handling of `bhed' table has been fixed.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- George Williams contributed code to handle Apple's font
distortion technology found in GX fonts (`avar', `cvar', `fvar',
and `gvar' tables; the Multiple Masters API has been slightly
extended to cope with the new functionality.
extended to cope with the new functionality).
- The `FT_Glyph_Metrics' structure has been extended: The elements
`lsb_delta' and `rsb_delta' give the difference between hinted
and unhinted left and right side bearings if autohinting is
active. Using those values can improve the inter-letter spacing
considerably. See the documentation of `FT_Glyph_Metrics' and
the `ftstring' demo program how to use it.
