Yes, same here. I had to rewrite the font stuff pretty much from scratch. I'm only interested in vector fonts so I was able to simplify the code quite a bit, and also to make some optimisations. For example, I simply store each glyph outline in a path_storage object, and I convert the curves to straight-line segments once at load time, instead of doing it every time a glyph is rendered. Fortunately my GUI is all in one thread, so I don't have to worry about thread safety :)
