Smoothed truetype fonts in gtk

[Christophe BERNARD <bernard cmapx polytechnique fr>]

I was wondering if there is any project to include direct access to the
freetype library from gtk. Currently, the xfstt uses the X11 protocol that
has two major drawbacks:
- no font smoothing possible
- rasterization at once of a single font. If this is OK for European
languages, this can cause server hangs for Asian languages.
