Hm, yeah. As long as we get an accurate standard width/height I guess.

By the way, I'm currently trying to refactor afloader.c a bit, I think 
breaking out the stem darkening computation and the parameters into 
their own module is next. That would make it easier to experiment with 
the computation function and e.g. implement the simpler curve Alexei 
proposed some time back.

I mean this in the sense of "yet another function to set properties on 
something". It would be nice to have one function like FT_Property_Set 
to set various things on various things.
