It could be hard to patch. I spent last weeks to revamp the hinting so that
the javascript should be more readable an easier to patch. But if you want to
change hintmarkers from numbers to chars, you have to adapt several methods in
the c layer to, because the c layer differ between chars that are given to the
createHints() function in the JavaScript or numbers that are delgatet to the
updateHints() function.
But I confirm with Hannes that chars aren't the right way to do hinting. For
me it would be confusing to read a link text 'Foo', aktive the hints and have
to write 'sa' to open it.
