Like the subject says ... the latest version of freetype in the main egg repo is 0.1. Has Alex, or anyone, done anything beyond that? I am going to need a significant increase in functionality in order to implement font embedding for the PDF egg I am working on.
What other functionality do you need?
The main thing that I *know about* at the moment is that I need access to metrics without loading the glyphs, which for TrueType and OpenType fonts means accessing the OS/2 table. But I suspect there will be more.
I should mention that I have a very ambitious project in mind, which entails support for complex documents in arbitrary (human) languages, including, especially, CJKV ... so it will be important to avoid any unnecessary glyph loading.
