Well, I think this is not so important for the current state of my project. 
I want first to make it work. Then will make the extras. :)

Actually, I already tried your approach and it works pretty good, even in this 
draft implementation: 

http://fresh.flatassembler.net/fossil/repo/fresh/artifact/9c43c2?ln=21-58

Anyway, I am trying now to understand the FreeType cache mechanism, because the 
current drawing speed is unacceptably slow.

Is there some tutorials on this subject, as the FreeType rendering tutorial on 
the FreeType site?

If not, please, give me with some explanation of how this subsystem works? 
I can't understand the general ideas, reading only the API reference.

Best Regards.
