About Font Hinting Remover
Font Hinting Remover is used to strip TrueType hinting instructions from a font to reduce its file size for web use. It removes the embedded hinting bytecode from the font's glyph data, which is largely unnecessary on modern high-DPI screens. Hinting removal can reduce font size by 10-40% and is safe for web use since modern browsers and high-DPI displays do not rely on hinting. Font Hinting Remover runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
