You mean, the caller is expected to call FT_New_Face, then pass
ownership of the object to the intermediate layer, which then makes use
of it and has the responsibility of calling FT_Done_Face?

If the intermediate layer is not expecting a NULL pointer, then an
error on FT_Done_Face would seem to be the least of your problems.
