We have Purify here at work and I'd volunteer for testing, as I'm using
FreeType for all the text display in our CAD application now ;-)
I haven't been using Purify yet, but I will have a look at it on
Thursday/Friday.

Thanks for your comments on the cache system. I have decided not to cache
rotated glyphs, as 95% of the text I have to draw is not rotated, so the
existing cache system is OK for me.
