I said this on the Cosmos ML, I suppose I should have said it everywhere. The point of this TTF stuff is that I will co-incide with completion of System.Drawing namespaces (and the start of userland as a whole). It will rely heavily on Regions and Paths and what not, we will need those types of things first. So it is a looong way off.
Honestly, it is really on the back-burner at the moment as I have a quite a bit of work at work, and working with TTF can drive a person crazy. If anyone has a Hazmat suit for me maybe I could dedicate more time to it :). If someone wants to hack System.Drawing support on the current stuff feel free, I will try and get this thing working faster if that's the case. Has anyone thought about inlining native libs (via P/Invoke) so that we can use FreeType (which I am now considering just porting) and Cairo? The Google Javascript OS does that and it looks like it works pretty well... I know there is a certain philosophy with the whole C# only idea, but this would give us a boost so that we don't have to worry about mundane/arcane things (like TTF): we could port the libs later on. Mike, any chance of this stuff?
