Thanks, but my goal is actually not to use VFlib, it is a little big
for my purposes, and I think freetype2 is providing the same type of
functionality as VFlib - it suffices for someone to write a PK module
for freetype2, for example. Since my DVI viewer will use only Type1
fonts, however, there is no need for VFlib if all the functionality is
in freetype2:

"you'll have to install VFlib in order to compile the dvi viewer, and
you'll have to install freetype2 in order to compile VFlib"

by not using VFlib I get rid of the middle man (that is, if someone
wants to make the conversion :)
