Dear all,
As some of you may know, the new FreeType backend registers itself for
Type 1 fonts. This means that it cannot be loaded together with the
current Type 1 backend.
Unfortunately, the FreeType backend does not yet support CIDFonts.
This means that with the new FreeType backend, you will lose support
for CIDFonts as currently provided by the Type 1 backend.
I can see four ways out:
1. simply document the fact that if you need CIDFonts, you should use
the Type 1 backend together with X-TT;
2. build a special version of the Type 1 backend that only handles
CIDFonts;
3. build a special version of the FreeType backend that only handles
TrueType and OpenType/CFF fonts;
4. ask on this list whether somebody has a smarter idea.
