I probably didn't write this exactly (or if I did then it wasn't accurate).
Converting cubic into squared curves isn't a big problem (though it'll be
inaccurate of course). What I was (probably) referring to is an extension of
the Balloon engine to handle cubic curves directly.

Hm ... not necessarily. It's usually not a good idea to throw away accurate
information ;-) So I guess I'd rather keep the cubic curves and convert them
on demand (and who knows, some future Balloon version might be able to
handle cubics directly).

There has never be a 'problem' ;-) It's just work.
