May be, addition of new good fonts, and increased user base will inspire you 
a little bit! :-)
A appreciate a lot how open people from different projects, cooperate with 
each other, etc.
So, "later" or "some time in the future" is much better than "never" or *no 
reply*.
FT2 in many aspects better than TT engine in Windows (haven't tried TT engine 
on MacOS). Keep it going!

Have a nice vacation!
