Basically, I don't object. On the other hand I wonder whether such a low-level graphics library has to be maintained within FreeType. Have we ever done an evaluation of that? Does such a simple graphics library already exist elsewhere? Is it only FreeType who needs this? Otherwise it might be useful as a project to split it off to a separate library, probably to be maintained in a separate git repository. Werner PS: Note that GSoC this years will be different, since the amount of time (and money) for students gets halved: Projects will last only six weeks instead of three months.
