use light autohinting (957 bytes, patch)

Description Grigori 2010-02-02 00:50:28 UTC 
assrender configures libass to use "native hinting". This means FreeType will run the hinting program of the font, if available. Unfortunately FreeType is known to produce bad results (distorted shapes) with many fonts. It's a wiser choice to use light autohinting (this is recommended by libass documentation) to improve compatibility.

See the attached patch.
