Most of that stencil-integral stuff was written in Scheme and then ported to
C++. It'd need some updating, but digging that up is a place to start for the
intrepid schemer. You'd just need to create C++ bindings for the
Open_type_font::get_glyph_outline function.
Unfortunately, time is not on my side these days. Once I have some, and if no
one gets to it before I do, I'll let you know.
