In this particular case, yes, it would eliminate the problem if FT_Face was
refcounted. However, the other objects that cairo implements such as cairo_t
and cairo_surface_t, do provide a cairo_*_finish() function so that the user
can dispose of any internal references to the object prior to destroying the
underlying resource. I feel we should be consistent in our API and implement
finish() for all objects, which would not only provide a means to workaround
FT_Face, but also similar issues that may arise with other font backends - such
as user fonts.
