Just a naive idea, but could we probably introduce e.g. a (private?)

    char file_header[4]

field into struct FT_Face and fill it with the first four bytes of a font file
upon opening? We could then a add function that returns a pointer to this field
to the FreeType API (or even a function that interprets this field and returns
the font container format in clear text).
