hi all.
i have just finished a working version (at least here on linux) of the font objects which support rendering of non-ascii (and non-local!) characters. this basically allows each character found in a ttf-file to be rendered (at least up to character#65535), e.g. cyrillic, IPA, chinese,...
while doing so i have finally kicked out GLTT support. since this has been there only for legacy reasons, i don't think that this will break anything. however, before i check it in i would like to know whether there are any objections.
