Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the patch! It's nice to see the "this code is broken"
comments disappearing from the implementation. Kristian, could you
review this patch please?

And I wanted to also thank you, Adrian, for the good work on the font
backends to allow font-backend-independent subsetting of truetype
fonts [*]. Just let me know when we start not pushing your commits in
quickly enough and you'd like to start doing that yourself.

-Carl

[*] The patches live here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7603

though the original bug being fixed is over here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7538

(The patches do also paper over the 7603 bug, but the bug will still
be there lurking afterwards.)
