Re: FT_Set_Char_Size() with TrueType fonts

This problem is for embedded bitmaps(a.k.a. sbit) but not for handling
collect "face (x-)height" as David said.

But now, I think we should open other face like following style when
sbit's size does not depend on outline's size.  Because many
developpers may confuse the convention as I said.

FT_New_Face(library, &outline_face, same_filename);
FT_New_Face(library, &sbit_face, same_filename);

FT_Set_Char_Sizes(outline_face, outline_size,....);
// Set_Pixel_Sizes is not impremented yet.
FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(sbit_face, sbit_size,....);

FT_Load_Glyph(outline_face, index1, FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP);
FT_Load_Glyph(sbit_face, index2, FT_LOAD_NO_OUTLINE);

// synthesys double striked(i.e. psude-bolding) sbit.
.....

Oops, it is difficult for me.
