Felipe,
thanks for your enthusiasm. However, it seems that you have missed
some discussion on the FreeType lists, as Hin-Tak has already pointed
out.

Mhmm, don't be so harsh.
Felipe, you have to be aware that the target of FreeType is *not* font
validation. For this reason some errors necessary by FontValidator
will never be reported by FreeType, which instead tries to understand
even malformed fonts as much as possible.
If Hin-Tak comes up with more patches I will gladly incorporate them.
