canvas/pango/text

[Paul Davis <paul linuxaudiosystems com>]

hey gtk/gnome canvas crew - 

in gtk1.2/gnome1, the canvas' handling of text sucked, and the source
and books about it admitted it quite openly. are things better in
gnome2, or are the changes needed to use efficient client-side
rendering for canvas text still pending?

just trying to do some mid-term design planning here ....
