I built an equivalent for ttcmetrics so I could fix the issue with the 
Japanese rendering. I ran into problems with doing it from Ant (probably 
due to Java version mismatches) and decided it was easier to just do it 
from Gradle than spend time investigating exactly why Ant misbehaved. I 
will add equivalent tasks for TTF and T1 this weekend.
