No problem at all for me, please go ahead. On the other hand, the changes
I've started are going to touch a lot more things that I initially thought.
However, this is the opportunity to fix and improve many aspects of the
face/font/glyph caching in the code. And it will be done without breaking
the API, only adding to it.
