Hard to say. But Miklos was already well versed with Google's pdfium project
having adopted it for the PDF insert filter. And restoring a "break" feature or
replacing the import filter completely already requires doing something along
these lines of implementing a skia PDF backend -- see bug 106581
I beleive there is some consensus building that a FreeType everywhere approach
is the way forward cross platform.
Again for the devs to decide, but printing and export to PDF will likely need
to be refactored cross platform anyhow. Support for OTF Variable fonts comes
with it.
