Hello,
Please release also font with PostScript/CFF outlines (*.OTF) with psautohint.
On Windows with smoothing disabled, the OTF version of the font at small sizes looks much better than the TTF version.

Thanks for the suggestion. We don't, however, have the capacity to test and maintain PS/CFF versions of our fonts. Are you using the latest version of Andika? We recently started using ttfautohint to improve our screen rendering on Windows, and the results have been good.

As far as I know, all font editors can generate font in ttf and otf formats.

ttfautohint is absolutely useless without anti-aliasing:
andika_ttf

but psautohint shows good results:
ss3_ttf_otf

I appreciate that, however with fonts as complex as ours it's not as simple as telling the system to produce, package, and test CFF OTFs. You are, of course, very welcome to use those font editors to produce your own CFF OTFs according to the license (OFL). The reality is that the huge majority of our Windows users have anti-aliasing/font smoothing turned on.
