I see 80 bugs is filed, but I don't want to read all of them to 
find any workarounds. I cannot find anything on the wiki 
regarding this.

So.. Any good ideas how to get around this?

Those "forward reference" bugs have very little in common with one 
another, other than the name. It's like "regressions".
You'll need to be a little more specific.

sfFont is just defined as "struct sfFont;", so there are no

Everything is accessed through functions.
