Thanks for your input! :)
I have something like that in mind but I don't think that a complicated
algorithm is needed here; we're basically working with two alpha bitmaps of
(roughly) the same size. I would simply compare the bitmaps on a pixel-by-pixel
basis, weigh the results by the max. possible difference and get the average of
all differences. That way it would also be simple to add a threshold - may it
be absolute or relative. In the end, the result can also be applied to a
logarithmic scale - something that I would play around with to find the optimal
solution for the needs of FreeType.

I'm not familiar with graphics testing, but maybe algorithms exist that look
for a magnitude of a difference between two images (maybe something like this
exists in video encoding land?). Then you could ignore changes less than 1% or
something.
