Indeed, a completely flexible font rendering system that could render
locally to pixbuf, or remotely via an X extension, or anything else
would be nice. There's probably crossover here between this and the
gnome-print architecture, though it would be nice to be able to
properly antialias all font rendering, not just stuff in the
gnome-canvas.
