  The conversation was that you (Göran) suggested to delegate the
responsibility to the font somehow, but I didn't quite agree with it
because it would introduce bi-directional dependency.

  Well, it is a bit (way) more than 30 minutes for me...

  I have another rough code that adds "streaming feature" to
TrueTypeTextStyle in which the system doesn't have to pre-create the
TTGlyphs.  When a bitmap for a character is requested, the glyph is
created from a file stream associated with the .ttf file.  But I guess
I should defer to integrate (and clean up) this part.
