DOOGLE[1] currently only depends on libfreetype2, (with Windows 
as only target) Windows API and OpenGL. I would remove 
libfreetype2 but.. its basically standard for font rasterization 
cross platform wise.
I have designed it to have its interface abstracted away from the 
implementation fully.

Its current state is well listed on my blog[2] it may not look 
much now and not ready for production use, but definitely should 
be said.
