I remember you had ever mentioned the lack of some features in FreeType: thread safety and reference counter, http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/harfbuzz/2009-August/000359.html I feel it's a pity that cairo, harfbuzz and pango had to write their own compensations for the lacked feature. # Werner, if the inexistence of reference counter was # designed, please let me know. However, yet I've not figured out the detailed usecase for reference counter of FreeType2 (so I cannot write short testing code), thus I cannot start working just now. If you know any softwares showing the problem caused by the lack of reference counter, please let me know. Should I compare older & newer cairo?
