Nice ! So there is a real chance that we can integrate FT2 support
into berlin *before* the 0.2 release we plan for June. I'll present
the berlin project at the LinuxTag in Stuttgart, which is at the end
of June so we will definitely release before that. Our font renderer
currently uses Unifont (a default fallback if nothing else is available)
so we are indeed very keen on getting FT2 hooked up with our DrawingKits.
(Graydon has managed to transform the unifont glyphs with libArt, look at
http://www.berlin-consortium.org/screenshots.shtml
to see what that means :)
