Thank you David,
    I have finally implemented this and it went fairly easily. So if 
anyone is interested pfaedit now has a truetype debugger built in (assuming 
it has access to a freetype with the bytecode interpreter).
    Brief description at http://pfaedit.sf.net/charview.html#Debugging

    David had suggested that I might want to expand the freetype API to 
include a debugging interface, but after looking at that problem, it seemed 
to me that most of the the required bits were best left hidden so I did not 
do that.
