I wrote something that seems to be working, but I would like to cache
the contours. For Open_type_font, this is easy, but for Pango_font,
each string can be composed of multiple FT_Faces, and I suspect they
might be deallocated during a program run. Do you know of a suitable
immutable key for FT_Face (eg. full filename) that I could get out of
either Freetype or Pango?
