   OpenSUSE Bugzilla #52167 and bugzilla #246804:
   Some fonts like "Luxi Mono", and "Nimbus Mono L"
   which are intended to be monospace are not detected as
   monospace because they have a few glyphs with wrong width.
   That is of course a bug in the fonts but this is difficult
   to fix and sometimes even impossible because of license reasons.
   For most purposes it is useful to force these fonts to be
   detected as monospace because it doesn't matter much if only
   a handful of rarely used glyphs has the wrong width.

	We can't hint CJK fonts well, so turn off hinting for CJK fonts.
	Some Asian fonts misadvertise themselves as monospaced when
	in fact they are dual-spaced (half and full). This makes
	FreeType very confused as it forces all widths to match.
	Undo this magic by disabling the width-forcing code.
