About the planned low level rendering API, what's the status?
Or, what is planned?

I know I would find something like this very useful:

pango_draw_string_utf8 (GdkDrawable *, PangoFontDescription *, int x, int y, char *str, int len);

Which would be a thin wrapper to XftDrawStringUtf8() or XDrawString.
