Yes, but the generate_font_bitmaps() in gnash libserver is called
when movie_def_impl::read() returns, which is *before* the full
SWF is parsed.

Calling it *after* full swf is parsed would be of no use as
when the font needs to be displaied the bitmap cache would not
be available.

I'm trying to isolate the code that actually creates the bitmap_info
cache from the texture_glyph definition to eventually attach it
when needed... but that fontlib.cpp file is a jungle
