Dear all, As some of you may know, the new FreeType backend registers itself for Type 1 fonts. This means that it cannot be loaded together with the current Type 1 backend.
Unfortunately, the FreeType backend does not yet support CIDFonts. This means that with the new FreeType backend, you will lose support for CIDFonts as currently provided by the Type 1 backend. I can see four ways out: 1. simply document the fact that if you need CIDFonts, you should use the Type 1 backend together with X-TT; 2. build a special version of the Type 1 backend that only handles CIDFonts; 3. build a special version of the FreeType backend that only handles TrueType and OpenType/CFF fonts; 4. ask on this list whether somebody has a smarter idea.
