The bug for this is here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599338

As there are going to be other revolutionary changes in gtkglext API
targetting the next major release, I prefer getting rid of the API
(option 3).

When the API is gone, code similar to that in examples/font-pangoft2.c
can be used by programs to render text.
