Its fine to get the information but each layer has its own format and structure for storing and caching the resulting metrics so I'd like to be able to control the storage format for the cached metrics. Each layer has its own concept of a glyph so it would be nice if the cache allowed me to store the glyph info in my own format. Thats why I can't use the low level cache. Eventually I'll try and write one that open as I'm describing and show it to you. I need it myself between WebKit and Cairo.
