Re: [ft-devel] supporting coloured bitmaps in FreeType

[Graham Asher]

Well, what I'm suggesting is just adding these constants, which is a 5 
minute patch. I'm not allowed to release my client's bitmap font format 
(which I invented) into the wild. It would be nice to have a standard 
coloured-bitmap font format but it would probably not be a good idea for 
me to invent it for obvious reasons.
