Dear all,
As I'm getting ready to include the new FreeType backend in XFree86, I
have a configuration problem.
The old FreeType backend (currently in CVS) only registers for TTF
fonts. The new FreeType backend registers for TTF, OTF and PFA/PFB
fonts. This makes it incompatible with the Type 1

Shall I remove the bitmap scaling code outright, or merely make it
optional (defaulting to no)?
I'm tempted to remove the code althegither, fontscale pollutes quite a
bit of the fontfile code and is not something we want to maintain
forever. Are there any objections?
