I'd agree if not for one thing: it isn't really much duplicated
effort - most the functions are just a few lines long; it wraps C.
There's a good chance I'll be able to finish them in the next

I think it's freetype for ttf and for bitmap fonts it's built into
it. Linking directly to it is a good idea.
