   Hmm ok, I understand and agree with your point.  I'm not sure 
Freetype would be all that useful, then...that's a shame.  It's my 
understanding that its primary application is generic rasterization, 
which is exactly what we don't need if our final output format is 
vector-oriented.  I don't know if it has any vector-output capability 
at all.
