Great, thanks!

I suggest that you add calls to `FT_TRACE7' to trace seac stuff.  This
might be beneficial in general.

Excellent.

I suggest that you compare output from, say, Adobe Acroread with your
new code; you won't get identical results but it should be similar
enough to catch gross errors.

Dave, what font or fonts do you recommend for testing?  AFAIK, Adobe
has converted virtually all of its Type1 fonts to CFF, and I think
that great care has been taken to reduce rendering differences to an
absolute minimum (if at all).
