Sorry for the late reply. Academic life is quite time consuming in
the end of the semester.

Thanks. Some general remarks regarding coding style: For me,
consistency is extremely important. On the other hand, I don't want
to enforce the admittedly strange coding style of FreeType itself. A
good compromise is the style used for the `ftinspect' demo program,
and I ask you to follow. In particular, there are
. no tabs, only spaces
. two spaces for indentation
. no lines longer than 80 characters
. always a newline at the end of a source code file
Note that this is something for a cleaned-up branch.
Please tell me again why you want to use the BMP format and not
something more compact – I forgot the reason...

This sounds promising. Again, as soon as you have a prototype,
generate images and send them to the list so that we can evaluate the
results, too.
