Hi,

I think I'm finally done with twin.

There's a bug somewhere with extent calculations, causing some glyphs to be
chopped.  Have not looked into that.  Any help is appreciated.

Moreover, twin is a full family now.  Since it was so easy, I implemented:

* A full range of weights:

* A full range of stretches:

* Oblique, monospace, and smallcaps:

And of course you can mix and match.  It all feels like ordering a drink at
the Starbucks now.  You can ask for "@cairo:", or:

  "@cairo:ultra-light extra-expanded monospace smallcaps oblique"

oh, with whipped cream.

Cheers,

behdad
