I am accessing FreeType through the freetype.py binding 
(http://freetype-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/introduction.html),
and the GETINFO[1] seems to always return 35, even when LCD subpixel 
rendering is activated:
FT_LOAD_DEFAULT | FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD

It seems FT_Property_Set is not accessible with the python binding...
Is there something I am missing?


thanks,
Jeremie
