Hmm. FreeType is completely unaware of `gasp'. Especially with the introduction of ClearType, handling of `gasp' has become non-trivial. I would really like to not add this.
This is where we disagree :). If it's non-trivial, it's even more non-trivial for FreeType-using pieces of the stack...

To be more specific, handling of `gasp' belongs into the same category as handling OpenType tables, this is, one level higher.
I wouldn't think so. It directly affects rasterization, and as we have established in other threads, rasterizing using bytecode hinting with disregard to gasp table can be problematic. Sure, we can force all FreeType users to implement gasp table handling, but I see it more fit in the library itself.
