I like this.

This is a good idea too.

Can you find a better, shorter function name?  Something like
`FT_Set_Open_Args_Defaults'...

> +  /*    num_new_face_param :: The number of arguments in new_face_arg[]    */
> +  /*                                                                       */
> +  /*    new_face_param   :: Default arguments to be set for FT_New_Face()  */

I'm not sure that using an FT_Parameter structure is the most
user-friendly solution, but admittedly I can't imagine something
better.
