After looking at 'man xft', it led me to the FreeType API manual
which includes this tutorial:
http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html
..so I think at some point today when the sun goes down,
I'll pour a stiff drink, and absorb all that, and maybe
try to compile up a few of their example programs:

..to see what I can come up with.
One of them looks like it 'renders' fonts out to TGA files.. fun.
