Welcome back, David!

If you still enjoy coding the renderers... We need to implement a
color one and deal with FT_Glyph and FT_GlyphSlot insufficiencies for
that. I made some progress in the "color" branch but lost steam. This
is for modern COLR/CPAL emoji fonts. The goal is to make them work
seamlessly even with FTC caching.

The renderer itself has been implemented in the "color" branch. To
store the layer make-up and colors, I used FT_GlyphSlot->subglyphs and
expanded FT_OultineGlyph. Two things are still needed but I lack the
knowledge: (1) parsing of COLR/CPAL into subglyphs and (2) fitting FTC
for color bitmaps. I would love to recruit your help here.

Thank you,
Alexei
