A priori yes. Our own font code definitely needs improvements, so the question is whether it is better to drop it altogether and switch to FontBox, or if we should keep it because FontBox doesn’t match our needs closely enough. I’d be interested to hear from Alexander Kiel. He seems to have gone a different route for implementing OpenType support and I’d be curious to know why. Vincent
