Pending issues in 0.2.0 (FreeType) version

See original GitHub issue

This version is currently in dev branch. Please, post here all found bugs.

All previously reported “broken” fonts should work now.
Better look for many fonts (forced hinting)
May be… even better look for monochrome output (special monochrome hinter used)

Pending things are internal, not visible to end users:

Code cleanup, drop opentype.js use everywhere
Review FreeType calls, is anyone has experience
Improve build scripts for FreeType (current ones are ugly)

Released 0.2.0

We removed opentype.js use almost everywhere. But still use it to extract kerning pairs from GSUB table, because FreeType does not support that. Many modern fonts don’t have kern tables, and use GSUB only. Example - Roboto font.
