The solution is caching everything! Due to the nature of fonts I don't see much gain in parallelization while processing a single font. Graham Asher mentioned in a previous post that his FreeType caching stuff from the symbian OS is now open-source, so you might use this as a starting point. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2010-02/msg00033.html If you can optimize FreeType further (for example, using a profiler to isolate hot spots, then rewriting the code to make it faster) this is very welcomed.
