I can try to make it in smaller parts but it's not that easy.

Well files are not beign written to file and read from there, instead of that

Hmmm, i'd say no, i don't think it's fine to do a cast to FT_OutlineGlyph when 
using only FT_LOAD_DEFAULT because that can return a bitmap that is obviously 
not an outline, no?
