* Added a third hinting mode: monospaced fonts only. This is especially helpful

with low resolution devices like the EeePC - small fonts can look pretty bad
  when hinting is turned on, and you still have the advantage of hinting for
  text editors and the terminal.
* Added a ServerFont::Hinting() method (that currently only evaluates the
  global hinting setting).
* Added a TODO comment on why having global settings is not what we aim for.
