I can't imagine that it would do better than carefully designed and hinted font. But I doubt such care is given to all fonts.

This is really the problem. Many fonts are poorly hinted and not designed with small sizes on a screen in mind.

That I will agree with. I highly doubt that Font Combiner could beat a font manually hinted by a trained fontographer though.
