I was refering to an older version. This API used to be public and
actually it was added mainly to allow gtk+-directfb to use it. Looks
like that's not any longer possible then.

It was mentioned on the freetype mailing list lately. But I looked at
my archives and it seems that it wasn't the FTLayout project announced
at the FreeType website but some other guy using the name for his
project. The web-site says "access denied", so probably that's not
worth to evaluate further.
