truetype and postscript type one fonts are vector in their nature  
freetype just makes them pretty bitmaps

what about making the math routines to make the proper vectors in  
gerbers?

i doubt that bezier curves are supported  but breaking them down to  
arc's and lines should not be too difficult.
