VFlib is quite large. I suggest you look at the new freetype architecture
(FreeType 2). It is general (you can extends it to arbitrary font types),
modular (you load the font type modules you need) and generally very
streamlined and small.
The berlin project is going to use it as the font/glyph server. I already
use the freetype 1.3 library to draw glyphs onto bitmaps and map them into
the ggi visual.
