I gave this a try and I'm not sure this is the way to go. I think adding a

accomplish rather
FreeType2 uses a rasterizer to generate bitmaps from the glyph descriptions.
I'm not sure how flexible that rasterizer is but I could imagine that this
is the ideal entry point for a 'ggi target'.

IIRC we decided the libraries should stay way from signals so as not to get
mixed up with anything the app does. You can get the same effect by
launching a thread and doing a blocking poll.
