That is FreeType used as a GDOS renderer. What I meant was that if you
for some reason would want to have some sort of shared library/renderer
you could write a FreeType-compatible library that didn't have it's own
renderer but used the underlying GDOS. Should be a lot lighter than
linking a full renderer to every application that use it.

OTOH I think FreeType does the rendering job better than NVDI.
