Couple of points that occur to me: * Shearing is often used to simulate italic. * When you do want to bring in the other operations, being able to combine them with translations makes it much easier to define things like rotating or scaling about a point other than the origin. This may not matter for existing common uses of FreeType, but I think it does make a stronger case for the unification at the higher, Python, level. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
