Re: Gets vertical skylines from grob stencils (issue 5626052)

[address@hidden]

Hey all,

I have a new patch up that simplifies the old one a great deal and uses 
freetype to get outlines.

The only problem with it (that I know of) exists for some non-standard fonts.  
If you run input/regression/utf-8.ly through this, you'll see LilyPond get very 
angry about not being able to find the glyph in the font.  This is because I am 
stashing a font at creation time in pango-font.cc (check out the constructor - 
you'll see a new member font_ being set) instead of extracting the font from 
the glyphs.  In certain cases, this means that the FT_Face created in the 
pango_item_string_stencil of my patch is different from that created in current 
master.  I have no clue why this is the case - does anyone have any intuition 
about this?

Cheers,
MS
