i've been running ttf2subf with the freetype appendage cut off.
i'm using the system library directly from p9p.  that seems to work better
than porting the whole freetype blob to plan 9 or carting around an
old copy of freetype.  (generally, i'd rather port to plan 9.)

unfortunately, i haven't made time to clean this version up enough
to stick out for public consumption.  yet.

i think the cutoff problem has to do with not extending the antialiasing
all the way down to the true bottom of the character.  i notice that the
ds were cut off, but not gs and ys at least in the last font.
