Summary description:  Tools to simplify using fonts (especially TT/OTF ones)

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This release brings a few changes to autoinst:

 - The new “-opticalsizes” option allows manually setting or
   overriding a font's optical size information.
   Several recent font families (Fraunces, Literata) contain
   multiple optical masters but no size information, instead
   making each optical size a separate family.
   The “-opticalsizes” option allows specifying the optical
   size range for each master, so that the fonts can be used
   as a single LaTeX family.

 - Autoinst now prints an informational message for all weights
   and widths that could not be mapped to standard NFSS codes.

 - A few bug fixes.
