We don't do many tests. Given that FreeType is an old project, and
that I insist on very conservative code, I don't expect new problems
with platforms. However, it would be nice to have better test suites;
this is another GSoC project :-)

Simply follow those patterns. You get 100 extra points of honour if
you are contributing such a guide :-)

There is no concept of hinting with SVG fonts, so please ignore that.
