Sure.  I'm just confused how FT_Property_Set figures out the length,
presuming it's FT_Property_Set that does the copying (I'm guessing it
would have to be, as the caller of FT_Property_Set is outside of
freetype, and the actual point of use of the data structure, which
obviously would know the type, is too late).

Thanks,
