Have a look at my openGL lib, FTGL...
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/henryj/code/
The class FTVectoriser handles decomposing outlines to points. It's
quite a simple process once you get the hang of it. The tricky bit is
clsoing the contours.
There is also a really good bezier curve function provided by a friend.
This class handles cubic and conic in the same outline because I didn't
realise they were mutually exclusive.
Although this lib is for openGL this class is pretty generic. You pass
in a glyph and out comes an array of points.

The outline of a glyph is given in a combination or line segments and
bezier curves. Is there an option I can use to get the outline only in
line segments?, alternatively is there a function to convert the curves
to points?
Is it possible to have conic and cubic bezier curves in one font? If I
get a bezier curve of one type in a glyph, say cubic bezier curve, would
it be correct to assume that all curves would be cubic.
