Summary: FontTools-based package for querying system fonts

Description: 

TTFQuery builds on the FontTools package to allow the Python programmer
to accomplish a number of tasks:

  * query the system to find installed fonts
  * retrieve metadata about any TTF font file (even those not yet
    installed)
      o abstract family type
      o proper font name
      o glyph outlines
  * build simple metadata registries for run-time font matching

With these functionalities, it is possible to readily
create OpenGL solid-text rendering libraries which
can accept abstract font-family names as font specifiers
and deliver platform-specific TTF files to match those libraries.

TTFQuery doesn't provide rendering services, but a sample
implementation can be found in the OpenGLContext project, from
which TTFQuery was refactored.
