Plus the fact that I haven't complete all the code clean-up yet. As far
as I can see all the TFontDef related code is legacy - related to when
the pdf code still used *.fnt files, instead of querying *.ttf files
directly. What does depend on the TFontDef structure can easily be
replaced by finding the info directly from the TTF file.

The TTextDictionary class can be removed as well. That has been replaced
by TTextMappingList & TTextMapping classes.


As you might know [Michael], my last concern was compiler hints. ;-)
