I can see the problems about compatibility, but I believe that in general
the FreeType API, including the semantics of the FT_Matrix structure, is not
exposed by systems that use FreeType. Therefore the break in compatibility
is not a problem. For example, the Symbian OS (aka EPOC) TrueType rasterizer
DLL uses FreeType 2. If at some future time it is changed to use a new,
incompatible version of FreeType, it simply needs to be changed internally.
In fact this has already happened before, when I upgraded the Symbian
TrueType rasterizer from FreeType 1 to FreeType 2. The external interface
remained the same.
This is also true for the three other clients for whom I have incorporated
FreeType in their software.
I don't understand why Sander has a problem, because I understood that his
software also did not expose the FreeType API externally.
