6It is an incomplete port:
7 * It only supports TrueType fonts, and not Type 1 fonts nor bitmap fonts.
8 * It only supports the Unicode encoding.

10There are also some implementation differences:
11 * It uses a 26.6 fixed point co-ordinate system everywhere internally,
12 as opposed to the original Freetype's mix of 26.6 (or 10.6 for 16-bit
13 systems) in some places, and 24.8 in the "smooth" rasterizer.
