Here is a list of items that need to be addressed in FreeType 2
---------------------------------------------------------------

* Implement stem3/counter hints properly in the Postscript hinter.

* Finalize the cache sub-system.  It has been in beta far too long :-)

* The automatic and Postscript hinters have been improved to increase
  the quality of AA text, but Monochrome and LCD hinting still suck.  We
  need to do something about that.

* Add CIDCMap support to the CID driver.

* Add track kerning support to the Type1 and PFR driver and the API
  (The degree of kerning, e.g. light, normal or tight, and
  the glyph size has to be passed as parameter).

* Add kerning (AFM file) support to the CID driver.


Here is a list of bugs which should be handled
----------------------------------------------

Other bugs have been registered at the savannah bugzilla of FreeType.

* CID driver:
    Handle the case where a CID font has a top-level font matrix also
    (see PLRM, 5.11.3, Type 0 CIDFonts).  Since CID_FaceInfoRec lacks
    a font_matrix entry we have to directly apply it to all subfont
    matrices.

* CID driver:
    Use top-level font matrix entry for setting the upem value, not the
    entries in the FDarray.  If absent, use 1000.
