synthsize true type font into monospace font

[Pranay Samanta <pranay samanta work gmail com>]

Hi All,

I need to know if  there is any way in pango to make a non-monospace font look like monospace fonts i.e. the spacing between all the characters are same.
I was planning to add a new script engine like basic-fc.c and set the glyph width to some value.

I guess that I will have to ignore the kerning values to implement this.

Please suggest me if I it is the right way to proceed, or if  there are any trade-offs?

In case, this is a good idea, I know that I have to change module-defs-fc.c and module-defs.h files. Are there any other files also that need to be changed ?
