Libschrift is about 1000 lines of code. Freetype is about 200,000. I'm pretty sure these projects have different aims. It is possible that refactoring Freetype to make it meet the aims of Libschrift would be harder than starting again.

Yes, but note that at some point Freetype was only 1000 lines of code, too.
