I'm not too hopeful about that removing the problem, given that I can
easily change the rendering of my laser printer by fiddling with the
PostScript hints.

When I started collecting fountain pens (before making fonts), I
learned quickly that a particular pen, adjusted (hinted?) in a
particular way, filled with a particular ink, and writing on a
particular paper is always a unique (and usually disappointing)
combination.
