FreeType does provide API to get raw font tables, namely

Oh! Our understanding was these functions were deprecated, I will have a
look.
4) What is get_ft_library for? Should I be calling it instead of
FT_Init_FreeType?
get_ft_library() is not public, so I guess you don’t need to (can’t
even?) use it.
Our main concern is I don't know what would happen if, for instance, we
call the shaper from two different threads, given that ft_library is
static.
/* Thread-safe, lock-free, FT_Library */
static FT_Library ft_library;
Despite the "Thread-safe" comment, we have experienced a lot of problems
when two threads are using the same FT_library. So I don't understand
what the "Thread-safe" claim is based on.
Also, do most users rely on hb-ft? Or they usually make their own font
parsers?
Thanks!
