I don't need that so it's not much of a problem for me at least. FreeType
draws the things I need just fine. No need to use cairo with its restrictive
license any longer. As for AGG, I don't like C++. So FreeType could really
fill in a market gap, i.e. a vector drawing engine with a strong copyleft
license.
