Just a quick question specifically about the font rendering and Postscript
generation: how far off do you guess would a minimally working
implementation of these be (weeks, months...).

I'm just curious as I have to decide on how to implement quality text
drawing and printing in a small app. At the moment I'm using GNU
plotutils, but it has some drawbacks.
