OK. I've attached a patch.
Do you want this installed on master or the release branch?
Best regards,

-New font handling mechanism with font backend method
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-The new files are:
- font.h -- header providing font-backend related structures
- (most important ones are "struct font" and "struct
- font_driver"), macros, and etc.
- font.c -- main font handling code.
- xfont.c -- font-driver on X for X core fonts.
- ftfont.c -- generic font-driver for FreeType fonts providing
- device-independent methods of struct font_driver.
- xftfont.c -- font-driver on X using Xft for FreeType fonts
- utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c.
- w32font.c -- font driver on w32 using Windows native fonts,
- corresponding to xfont.c
- w32uniscribe.c -- font driver on w32, using the uniscribe API
- to provide complex script support for opentype fonts on
- Windows 2000 and later, or earlier versions of Windows
- with uniscribe installed as an add-on.
-
-So we already have codes for X and w32. For Mac it seems that we need
-these files:
- atmfont.c -- font-driver on mac using ATM fonts, corresponding
- to xfont.c
-As BDF fonts are currently used on w32, we may also implement these:
- bdffont.c -- generic font-driver for BDF fonts, corresponding to
- ftfont.c
- bdfw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 using BDF fonts,
- corresponding to ftxfont.c
-But, as FreeType already supports BDF fonts, if FreeType and
-Fontconfig are also available on w32, what we need may be:
- ftw32font.c -- font-driver on w32 directly using FreeType fonts
- utilizing methods provided by ftfont.c.
-
-It may be interesting if Emacs supports a frame buffer directly and
-has these font driver.
- ftfbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for FreeType fonts.
- bdffbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for BDF fonts.
-
-Note: The fontset related codes are not yet matured to work well with
-the font backend method. So, for instance, even if you start Emacs
-as something like this:
- % emacs -fn tahoma
-Non-ASCII Latin characters will not be displayed by the font "tahoma".
-In such a case, please try this:
-
-(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin '("tahoma" . "unicode-bmp"))
