+      If you are using hinting and have a TTF (not OTF) font which lacks hints
+      but permits you to fork it, you might be able to apply hints using <ulink
+      url="https://freetype.org/ttfautohint/">ttfautohint</ulink> which is based
+      on the old autohinter. As of version 1.8.4 it fails to build without Qt5.
+      <!-- switch exists, configure passes but build fails -->
