I hate asking questions, especially when I think the answer is out there, I 
just have not found it!

I would like to use the functions in libart but I need to mix them with 
Pango and gdk_draw* (not so important). Near as I can tell, libart does not 
have any rendering functions that will take a GdkDrawable/GC pair. I know 
that I can render into an RGB array and then draw that using gtk_draw_rgb_* 
but that would not handle alpha blending between paths unless I can get 
Pango and gdk_draw* to write to an RGB array.

I guess the question is there a way to create a GdkPixmap with public data 
array?

It also appears that the expose event buffers the drawing. Ideally, it 
would be nice to be able to draw to that off-screen bitmap using libart 
instead of using 2 buffers and lots of unnecessary copying!

Anyone offer any suggestions, or things to persue? My last resort would be 
to drop Pango for FreeType and roll my own gdk_draw (they are pretty minor 
routines that we are using) but obviously would prefer to use as high a 
level as I could. I'm still not sure Pango is going to work for us because 
it is so high level but restrictive in it's abilities, but that is for 
another day :-)

Thanks in advance,
