Cool.  I still need to fix the 'height' value for truetype strikes; that's 
computed from the global metrics instead of the strike metrics as the 
strike doesn't contain the line gap.

I'm gonna work on 'round tripping' BDF fonts to see if I can get them from 
BDF to TTF and back to BDF without losing any information.  I'm pretty 
sure I'll need a place to store extra BDF properties; can I make up a new 
TrueType table to load with FT_Load_Sfnt_Table?  If so, what should I call 
it?
