Sure, here's where I currently intend to go:

https://gitlab.com/rbernon/wine/-/commits/wip/freetype/v3/

I'll probably also drop the FreeType cache manager usage, as it's not 
really useful anymore (since we won't be loading so many fonts with 
FreeType). I had some additional patches that use it for all FreeType 
code in gdi32 (including for GdiFont), but I need to sort out some 
issues related to font lifecycle and some internal cache first.
