TTCap was based on the IMHO erroneous assumption that it is better to
hack extensions to fonts.dir rather than provide an extensible
database for font-related information. Today, we do have just such an
extensible database: fontconfig.
As far as the implementation goes, TTCap lives in the font backend,
which implies that somebody got the layering wrong.
I do not deny that TTCap does work around real problems. However, I
do not believe that TTCap is something we want to follow.
