Anything that uses delta hinting to change the actual form of the
character would look better (probably a lot) with hinting on as
opposed to off. The same goes for non-linear and optical scaling.

Sure, some of these things are far more apparent (at least as things
stand) if you have bought professional fontsets from foundries - which
are sometimes way more expensive even than say MSO ;-) - but still,
the benefits do exist and will over time be availale in free fonts
aswell. OOo already makes many ftypography related things
unnecessarily hard :(
