QCAD fonts are just lines and arcs, too;
For Freetype fonts, I render them with lines (outlines+parallel lines
filling insides);
there are also a compile-time switches to disable outlines, filling
and to render the glyphs with polygons; but my rendering with polygons
is not satisfactory, because I don't cut off internal gaps in letters
like "o" (it is shown as a filled circle).

Thanks,
Ineiev
