Except for the complete and total showstopper that it will not support
opentype features nor aat features. Please, if you want to continue
along this track, figure out how to some the enormous problem of missing
opentype feature support first.
Unless it can do opentype features (and does so all by itself, without
depending on local system libraries) no external library binding is
acceptable as a replacement for the current code.
Best wishes,
Taco
