This driver property would be also part of the face – some properties
were already added to FT_Face so that they can be used by function
`FT_Face_Properties'. The advantage of a driver property is that you
have three levels of control:
function FT_Face_Properties
function FT_Property_Set
env. variable FREETYPE_PROPERTIES
> Why not another load flag?
The idea is to change the *default* loading behaviour of
FT_Load_Glyph. Using a new load flag doesn't do that. Additionally,
it takes ages until all applications and/or operating systems are
updated to support a new load flag – and some applications will be
never updated... With a driver property, end users have *immediate*
control whether they want gasp table support by just using a new
FreeType DLL.
