I suggest you do so.

I'm using it right now on a suse 7.3 box with their rpm modified to
patch in Juliusz' backend. It works very well.
The only note is that if the current version had not added CID
support, I'd suggest patching the type1 backend like so:

That will ensure that the old type1 backend only serves the cid
fonts. If the ft2 backend does now include cid support, the patch
would need to exclude the old type1 backend from libfont.{a,so}.
Also, this patch may be a reasonable addition to the ft2 backend:

given that ft2 now supports pfr0 fonts.
