AFAIK, Pango returns a list of glyph indices and coordinates to

This is great Werner - thank you! I just checked out FT_Outline. It's really straightforward, which is great.
Joe - this likely means that the build system work you were thinking about doing w/ glyph outlines is no longer necessary and that I can scrap all of the .scm stuff I wrote and replace it with calls to this. I'll have time Wednesday morning to check this out.
