Did somebody say "font hinting" and "inkscape" in the same voice?
Wow, please don't get rid of this feature -- I've been wanting something like it for a long time, and never thought to look at the "Save as" dialog.
Though I understand that it just adds UI confusion to have 2 ways to output PNGs.
What can I do to achieve font hinting via the bitmap-export dialogue? A simple checkbox would be very nice, and an export hint to say "always export this object with font-hinting/cairo". I'm a skilled programmer, but have no experience with the Inkscape core (and not heaps of spare time, but that's another story...). Where should I start?

But Cairo PNG is useful because it render fonts hinted and LCD filtered,
which is good for UI mockups, etc.
