And there's already some code: my old LibGFont thing which had support
for truetype (via freetype), type1 (via t1lib), amiga and PSF fonts (via
plug-in libraries like LibGGI has).  The dependence on libdatatype would
need removing though.  If anyone is interested, it can be downloaded
from my homepage at <http://www.netspace.net.au/~ajapted>;.
