TIL TrueType was developed by Apple, already with hinting as far as I can tell. Apparently the Mac font renderer ignores most of the hints but not all.

Apple's rasterizer doesn't do grid fitting, which essentially means it ignores the hinting instructions, but it does do pixel snapping in some cases.
