[Question] Avoiding FreeType? #198

Hi!
Is there a way to avoid using FreeType?
I'd like to keep dependencies to a minimal list, and also it's not exactly small.

As I understand it, HarfBuzz already has its own face+font handling functions.
From the hb docs:

hb_face_t *face = hb_face_create(blob, 0);
hb_font_t *font = hb_font_create(face);

Would it be possible to use those instead?
E.g. having something like raqm_set_hb_font()?
