In order to reduce complexity in the main project, can’t you separate freetype into a tool that caches fonts as bitmap glyphmaps, and use the glyphmaps directly? That way, the editor itself doesn’t need to worry about that.

Looks like more complexity and that would prevent users from changing fonts in their preferences.
Right now, how does it work? Does it build a glyphmap everytime the editor starts?
